Ben Nemtin was born in Victoria, British Columbia. After graduating high school, Nemtin was selected as a member of the Under 19 Canadian national rugby team,[3] and earned academic and athletic scholarships to attend the University of Victoria. At University, fed up with the monotony of day-to-day life, Nemtin and his friends set out on a two-week road trip with a camera and a borrowed RV to complete a list of "100 things to do before you die." Along their journey, they asked people the question, "What do you want to do before you die?"[4] For each item they accomplished on their list, they helped a complete stranger do something on their own list.

In the television series, Nemtin and his friends help other people cross items off their bucket list including reuniting a father and son after 17 years[5] and helping a young man find a healthy kidney.[6]
