Welcome to Joseph “JB” Bensmihen

From a bold six-year-old who confidently walked into Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s office demanding inclusion, to a multi-millionaire by age 33, JB’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. As a child, he challenged societal norms, becoming the first disabled student in Canada to join mainstream education. His determination didn’t stop there. By 26, he held a master’s degree from Yeshiva University and soon after, he and his wife embarked on a successful entrepreneurial journey.

The Voice of Reason

JB’s influence extends to the corridors of power. He has advised three U.S. presidents—Obama, Bush, and Clinton—and numerous members of Congress on pivotal issues like health care, consumer rights, small business sustainability, and American-Israeli relations. His book, “Taking Your Place at the Table,” released in 2017, encapsulates his philosophy of refusing to be an outsider.

Business Leader & Political Advisor

Today, JB is a sought-after speaker, trainer, guardian, mediator and coach, guiding individuals and organizations to claim their rightful places. Over the years, he has counseled political figures such as Congressman Ted Deutch, Congressman Dennis Ross, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, and Florida Governor Rick Scott. As a business magnate, he led United Elder Care Services in Florida and later served as Vice President of Evergreen Private Care in Houston.

Sought After Speaker

With over 600 inspirational talks under his belt, JB is a beacon of hope and inclusion. He’s a regular voice for organizations like Friendship Circle and the Ruderman Inclusion Initiative, advocating for the rights of those with disabilities. His accolades include Yeshiva University’s Points of Light award and multiple Distinguished Community Service Awards from Florida Atlantic University.

Visionary Behind Carewell and Apollo Mediation

Currently, JB is the owner of Carewell Management and Apollo Mediation and resides in Boca Raton. His story is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the belief that everyone deserves a place at the table.
