Anne Beiler started twisting pretzels in 1987, growing a single farmer’s market stand into Auntie Anne’s®, the world’s largest hand-rolled soft pretzel franchise. Her success emerged from deep personal tragedy—the loss of her 19-month-old daughter—which led to years of darkness and depression.

Anne’s journey and business insights have been featured on ABC’s Secret Millionaire, Good Morning America, Fortune, and Inc. Magazine.

In 2005, she sold Auntie Anne’s® and authored four books: Twist of Faith, The Secret Lies Within, Overcome and Lead (an Amazon #1 Bestseller), and Come to the Table. Today, Anne speaks globally, sharing her powerful story and inspiring others through her authenticity and resilience.

Işık Abla, born in Istanbul, Turkey, was raised in a Muslim home and endured years of verbal and physical abuse. Trapped in a violent marriage, she fled to America in 1996 after her husband attempted to kill her.

Struggling to rebuild her life, she fell into deep depression and became suicidal. On the day she planned to end her life, she encountered God, surrendered to Jesus, and experienced supernatural healing.

Called to ministry, she studied biblical studies, trained at Yale and Harvard, and became an ordained minister. Today, her programs reach over 700 million people in 200 countries, powerfully sharing the message of hope, love, and redemption with the Muslim world.
