It’s more than a speech. I’ll never forget when I was sitting on the edge of the bed in a crusty hotel room in New Jersey. From the outside looking in, I had the life that everybody thinks they want. A six figure income, beautiful girlfriend, new apartment, brand new sports car and the body of my dreams. It was in that moment that I realized I had been putting on a show, not just to everyone else, but also to myself. I wasn’t confident, I had no self esteem, I had no self-belief and no hope that any of this was ever gonna change. When I came to that realization, it was too much to handle. I dug myself a hole that was too deep. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t turn off the noise in my head, and I just remember thinking to myself, “You are gonna be trapped at this job forever, and there’s nothing you can do about it. It would be so much easier if you were dead.” Our primary goal when speaking on stage is not just to impact the room the day off, but to catalyze concrete changes and mindset shifts that will last a lifetime. Hyper Consciousness for me wasn’t a choice, it was a necessity for survival. I needed help, so I reached out to the most Hyper Conscious person I knew. Someone who I knew believed in me, even though I didn’t believe in myself. That’s how this podcast was born. Every single action you have ever taken, or ever will take, started as a thought. When you change the way you think, you will change the way you live. That is Hyper Conscious.
