    Samurai Success with David Olcott

    TACO Tuesday! Take Action Crush Obstacles! Today’s guest, David Olcott, was born and raised in the Florida Keys – and probably spent more time on or in the water than he did on land. He wanted to be a FBI profiler, but got sidetracked into the world of politics and real estate. By age 24 he was miserable, living the outside life of “success” but still miserable inside. He was on stage at an event and dazzling the audience , walking off stage to the sounds of applause. The next speaker came out and the audience went crazy. David peaked through the curtains to see who this speaker was.  He had never met or heard of the 6’7” guy that had the audience on its feet. But he listened to his presentation, introduced himself later and went to work with him. That man? Tony Robbins. Join us and hear the rest of the story on today’s episode of The Warrior Servant Leader Podcast. We talk about People, Process and Profits as the foundations of every business and how one or more might be trapping you from being the success you have always dreamed of becoming. David is the founder, president and CEO of Samurai Success, Inc., an international executive, organizational and personal coaching firm headquartered in Denver, CO.

    The Business Finance Doctor Is In the House with Avi Pinsky

    TACO Tuesday! Take Action Crush Obstacles Today’s guest, Avi Pinsky is the founder of Pinsky Consulting and is known as the “Business Finance Doctor.” He helps business owners and leaders stop operating in financial fog and start leading with clarity, calm, and integrity, so they can protect their people, make confident decisions, and build a healthier mission-driven organization. We are going to dive deeper into Safety, Security, Prosperity and Control – 4 things we all want and need in our lives but sometimes struggle to find. We also chat about turning money from stress into leadership – at work and at home. Avi’s angle is leadership-first.

    Play a Part in Your Own Resurrection with George Stoimenov

    TACO Tuesday! Take Action Crush Obstacles! Rise From The Ashes: A 4 Step Guide to Getting Unstuck with George Stoimenov Today’s guest, George Stoimenov,  grew up in Bulgaria in a time of transition from Communism. In 2009, he went to the UK in search of something more.  What followed was an intense personal journey of pain and eventual transformation which enabled him to do the work he is currently doing. He has spent the last twelve years on the frontline of some of the hardest human situations in the country—working with homeless youth, trafficked and freshly arrived asylum seekers, and now men on probation for the Ministry of Justice.  He has sat with men who have done terrible things and men who have had terrible things done to them. That experience has shaped everything he writes and speaks about. He is not a therapist nor an academic—he is someone who has done the inner work himself, and has spent over a decade helping others do the same. His latest book, Rise from the Ashes, grew out of a simple handout he wrote for vulnerable young people at a residential project in West Sussex. It became a practical 4-step framework for anyone who feels stuck, lost, or buried beneath the weight of their past. His framework, done just one hour a week can change your life!
