On the latest Academy episode, it is my honor and pleasure to welcome Howard Falco, a peak performance coach, mindfulness expert and spiritual teacher.
He is the author of two powerful books on human understanding and potential, I AM: The Power of Discovering Who You Really Are and Time in A Bottle: Mastering the Experience of Life.
When I first moved to Scottsdale, Arizona on a whim, I walked into a bookstore and played a game in which I grab the first one I am guided towards. In this case, I opened up I AM and the page mentioned Howard’s journey to Arizona -- that’s when I knew I had to not only read and buy the book but pull all the messages inside of it.
In this special in-studio session, we go deep into:
- The power of embracing our potential
- What separates the great from the good
- The journey from a finance professional to spiritual teacher
- Answering two of life’s deepest questions
- Having an open mind and remaining curious
- The feeling that “nothing was ever enough”
- How we already have our image of perfection
- The power of asking questions that expand
- Why intention opens the floodgates of life
- The worthiness of every single person
- The greatest power in any moment or I Am
- How to collapse time in life and accept where you are
Please tag Howard and me with your biggest lesson, this is one you may want to listen to over and over again!

Are you waiting to achieve [INSERT GOAL] so you can begin to feel enthusiasm, joy, love, passion, connection, curiosity and countless other abundant feelings?
Because the truth is...those external markers of achievement won’t make you feel that way (at least not as much as you'd think.) The latest episode of the Academy is a special one — and we brought back one of the most listened to guests back to celebrate the drop of Episode 50 with none other than Shannon Graham. In this episode, we deep dive into the above, or the distinction between what Shannon calls the art of fulfillment and the science of achievement. We break these down to help you see the key difference and start practicing the art of fulfillment by inserting the activities that make you feel most alive — while moving towards what you want to achieve. We also dig deep into the steps and mindsets anyone listening can implement to make 2017 their most powerful year ever, how to break free of your most stubborn roadblocks and so much more.

Imagine one day you’re teaching Spanish to middle school students and then you’re in an octagon fighting for your life and getting punched in the face.
Sounds pretty insane, right?
That’s exactly the journey of the latest guest of the Academy, none other than Charlie “The Spaniard” Brenneman who was a former teacher turned UFC fighter who ranked as high as #7 and now a speaker, author, coach and writer who shares his story all over his platforms and turned into a book called "Driven: My Unlikely Journey from Classroom to Cage".
In this episode we discuss how to adopt a fighter’s mindset, how to have a magnificent obsession, having a massive outcome that makes sense to you (but not others), lessons from the octagon, how to deal with endless critics, trolls and haters, the process of writing a book and enjoying the process of every single moment of life.
We’d love to hear your big takeaway from this episode, tag Charlie and I on social media and let us know what you got this conversation.
