Finding balance is key - we all have heard this. Some people believe it, some don’t, but for James Bryant, we can look at this in a whole new light. Finding balance is not an end result - much like walking, it is a process of constantly balancing and rebalancing our way to progress. My name is James Bryant, I am a John Maxwell Certified Leadership Trainer, Speaker, and Coach, a husband, father, professional engineer, certified professional life coach, author, multifamily apartment investor and I Choose to BE Happy. I empower clients to transform problems into opportunities using the power of coaching combined with insight that I have gained with over 20+ years of experience in the public and private sector. Your mindset determines how you view the world, your life, and your circumstances. I believe that change starts with YOU and how you see the world, and how you choose to show up in life. James discusses why not taking care of yourself is selfish and the ways to achieve balance by strengthening your core to

How often do we blame others for the chaos in our lives? Whether we like it or not, we are not inculpable children stuck in uncontrollable circumstances. It may be painful, but as adults, we should blame ourselves. From this realization comes empowerment as we take on the responsibility to lead ourselves to a better life, as Michael Unbroken will discuss here. My journey is not dissimilar to that of millions of people around the world. I grew up in chaos. My mother was a drug addict and alcoholic. My father abandoned me when I was barely 2 years old. My step-father was hyper abusive, and the kind of guy that you pray never enters your life. We grew up in The Mormon Church where I was molested by one of the Ward’s mothers in the night. Since we were often homeless and the church partitioners took us in I wasn’t allowed to say a word. By the time I was 11 I had been entirely stripped of my childhood. Between the beatings, belittlement, molestation, and homelessness I was ready to kill myself. By 12 I was using

In life, there are various situations where we can fall victim to the circumstances and have self-defeating or self-protective behaviors. Oftentimes, we seek for answers out there but the more we realize our own past, patterns, and current situations, what we are looking for is already within ourselves - and like what Brian Bogert emphasized - we just have to be mindful of it. It is scary but twice over liberating to realize how much control we have in our lives, so unless we become aware and take ownership, we would never come in for such potential. Brian Bogert teaches leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals how to become more aware and more intentional, thus allowing them to become who they already are, their most authentic selves. Brian provides a roadmap to ease the journey to self-realization. He ensures professionals understand the difference in using their time not in minutes, but with INTENTION. He opens the door to perspective, motivation and direction by sharing with leaders how to reprogram thei

How many times have you experienced needing to take a side on things and following a certain perspective because of the pressure coming from society? Logan Freeman discusses that taking a step back to internalize will trigger that sobering thought that we are here in this world only for quite some time. We shouldn’t be too worried about the trivial and shift our focus on what truly matters.  I am a commercial real estate investor, developer, and broker. I find deals, vet them, put them together, and get them over the finish line. How? See below.

Our intention is there and we do take action to make our lives better. So how come we still do not get what we expect? What’s missing in the equation? Perhaps that is what we need to ponder on. Dan Mangena shares his story of going through notable ups and downs in his life that lead him to logical steps to solve the equation, pointing out the significance of our inner environment. I’m Daniel Mangena. Born and raised in London, England. At the age of 27, I was given the revelatory and life-shattering information that I have Asperger’s syndrome. While this made sense of a lot of things for me, it also threw me into a whirlwind of uncertainty and doubt.

It is nothing but natural to respond to suffering and shame with suppression, given how we are wired to think starting from our early years. But as a matter of fact, this very notion deprives us from embracing our authentic selves. Brian Bogert has a unique story to share about this and how he discovered the beauty in life by embracing the ugly.  Every single high-achieving individual has been stuck, frustrated, unsure, and angry as they start feeling their efforts barely move the needle forward on progress.

Winning in life seems to be a mystifying process - does it only favor the hard workers or the fortunate? Or perhaps it is not an arbitrary occurrence, rather a predictable one? DR. Jeff Spencer is here to talk about why this is more of a systematic approach than a mere reliance on fate.

Jerome Myers is a corporate America dropout who helps others exit the Matrix. He is the Founder of Dream Catchers; Owner of The Myers Development Group; Founder of Myers Methods; Co-Host of the Compression Podcast; and a Life Coach for Guards Down. Jerome’s story:From the outside looking in, everything in my world was going to plan. My career was attached to a rocket. I was already making over 100 k, and I just finished my MBA at night. I'd married my college sweetheart a few years earlier, and our first daughter was happy and healthy. I had money in the bank, a huge house, my dream car, and the ability to travel out of the country regularly, but I was empty on the inside. I think most of us are like that.We are silently asking ourselves, is this all there is to life?Finally, I started asking my friends this same question and realized they were asking it too.I decided we have to fix this.After building a 20 MM division at a construction company and having to layoff my teammates two years in a row, I'd had eno
