At Ignite Treatment we believe in the power of purpose, passion, and identity on the healing and development of young people. We call this Igniting Potential. While there is no easy answer to the variety of Mental Health and Addiction struggles facing our youth, we find that having purpose keeps our clients on course, and brings focus and drive. Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama is one of those movies that is a guilty pleasure. It is a funny B-budget movie. If you want a blockbuster movie this one is not for you, but if you want a fun movie to watch this would be a good pick.

Dan Bilzerian House
Here we go with another profile of one of Dan Bilzerian’s team of Ignite Girls. This time we check in with Alex Abbate, a Florida State student who is closing in on 100k Instagram fans where she’s starting to crank up her content output now that she’s part of Bilzerian’s exclusive team. And the good news for Alex is that she was invited to go on Dan’s trip this week to the Bahamas to swim with the pigs and create content for Ignite, his CBD startup that’s going to make Dan even more ridiculously wealthy.
The bad news for Alex, according to her IG Story, is that she had to do homework while at the pool where other Ignite ladies were living it up, but this is a great sign because it means Alex takes her studies seriously. You can’t be an Instagram brand influencer your whole life. Millions of IG supermodels eventually go pro in something other than IG. Big lesson right here, ladies. Pay attention.
Here’s something I found interesting from Alex’s bio over on a Maxim contest — she’s a Stage 2 cancer survivor and went through chemo.
Everyone has a secret talent, what is yours?
Dan Bilzerian Ignite Girls
My secret talent is being a cancer warrior. Last year, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cancer at only 21. My entire world fell apart and my life went from living the normal life of a college student, to spending each day fighting to stay alive. My days revolved around being infused with chemotherapy and fighting something that tried to kill me. Don’t judge a book by its cover!
As for the Bahamas trip, Dan hasn’t pumped out a ton of content from this one. Looks like the play here is the trip recap video that will drop in a couple weeks.
