Join us for an inspiring and highly relatable session with Ryan and Samantha Bouda, a husband-and-wife team who will share what it truly looks like to design and live a life of intention, growth, and service.
Samantha’s journey took her from a ten-year break from dance to the NFL sidelines as an Arizona Cardinals Cheerleader, proving that it is never too late to pursue a bold goal. Ryan is in the final stretch of earning his PhD and has recently completed writing and publishing a book—while also owning a professional development company and volunteering with the local fire department.
Together, they will share how they set meaningful goals, stay committed through setbacks, and—most importantly—support one another along the way. Their story highlights the power of accountability, shared vision, and community, including their passion for giving back through volunteer work such as Samantha’s role as Chapter Lead for For Goodness Cakes.
This session is a candid conversation about ambition without burnout, growth without perfection, and success. Attendees will leave with practical insights, renewed motivation, and a reminder that living your best life is not about having it all figured out—it’s about taking the next intentional step forward, together.
Ballyhack Golf Experience
May 26-27, 2026 | Graybull Golf Course
This is one you won’t want to miss. The Apiary Social Club is heading to Roanoke, Virginia for an exclusive two-day member experience at Ballyhack Golf Club, one of the most celebrated private courses in the country.
With dramatic elevation changes, firm and fast conditions, and a layout that demands both creativity and course management, Ballyhack is a pure golf experience unlike anything in the Mid-Atlantic.

The stay-and-play model includes luxury on-site lodging, with beautifully appointed accommodations and shared common spaces designed for connection and camaraderie. The clubhouse delivers exceptional food and drink, and the atmosphere after a round is exactly what you’d want — warm, relaxed, and perfect for unwinding with your fellow Apiary members.
This is a rare opportunity. As a private club, Ballyhack is exclusively accessible to Dormie Network members, making this Apiary member experience a truly special occasion.
