Dean Brizel

Co-Founder

First and foremost, I am happily married to my wife, Yana, and a proud father of two adults. I was born and raised in New York City, where I owned a fashion company and took up my favorite sport, road cycling, with alpine skiing coming in at a close second these days. The more passionate of an athlete I became, the more I started to realize that full body self-care was the only way to truly optimize my performance.

After selling my fashion company and retiring, I decided to move to Malibu to lean into these passions and pursue new ones like building community through shared interests, which is where the idea for the “The Malibu Circle” was born. Recently (November 2024) renamed to “the Malibu Aspen Circle” now that we added Aspen as a second residence.

I feel it’s important to inspire all to pursue a healthy, purposeful life. This community is here for you to continuously discover and stay up to date on topics such as self-care, biohacking, regenerative therapy, anti-aging, but primarily to learn and exchange knowledge for the benefit of all.

Here are some mottos we all can live by:

1. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves. Particularly bad habits for good ones.

2. When you change the way you see things, things you see will change.
