We all have uniqueness and the ability to influence the world through adding value. The key is to realize that most of us are reacting to life and the things that happen instead of taking action to create the life we want. Having a growth mindset, knowing that we are in charge of our lives, and having the ability to take action toward whatever it is that we want, is essential. In this episode, Alison sits down with Brian Covey to talk about the amazing power of visualization and speaking your goals into existence. 

Brian Covey went from an Olympic USA Soccer Player to VP of one of the largest mortgage companies in America. Learning to be adaptable, maintaining fitness, and having a growth mindset became masteries for Brian as his career was affected by the 2007 market crash shortly after his soccer days came to an end. Brian is now the VP of one of the largest mortgage companies in America, a proud father, an influencer, a top-rated podcaster, an author, an investor, and a proud soccer dad. Brian calls himself a “creative disruptor” and emphasizes the importance of being adaptable and staying in pursuit of your calling.

In this episode, Brian shares the challenges he faced that led him to pursue greatness. It is about “being where your feet are” and adding value where you are in the moment, which could start as simple as giving a simple compliment to a stranger. Adding value to the lives of others will in turn add value to your life and your energy will come alive. Brian shares his message to those that might be having feelings of hopelessness or lack direction in their life. We all have a greater purpose and Brian believes the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.
