Brian McAlister discusses how to create a better life by facing self-doubt and pursuing passions with an understanding of the power of intentional action. He recounts personal stories of transformation such as conquering addiction and dispelling limiting beliefs, many from family members. Brian revealed the importance of self discovery, surrounding yourself with positive people and setting goals to stay motivated.
Brian's transformation, from struggling with addiction to finding empowerment and his commitment to seeking guidance from mentors, came together because he took action rather than waiting on the sidelines or for fear to subside.
