America has always been about freedom, opportunity, and the pursuit of happiness. However, most Americans are not free when it comes to the financial front. Most are under financial slavery due to losing their jobs, having stagnant wages due to outsourcing, inflation due to money printing, and debt of all kinds. Wealth and income inequality runs rampant across America while the middle class has all but disappeared! Where there is no freedom, there can never be opportunity nor happiness. Such a disconnect between who we are as Americans and our Financial reality cannot be allowed to continue. ​ Therefore, Extraordinary America is about the abolition of financial slavery. It is about the financial freedom of the 99%. It is about Americans awakening and unleashing the Extraordinary within themselves and setting themselves free! ​ The truth is Americans are Extraordinary. As immigrants and descendants of immigrants, they have overcome insurmountable obstacles and barriers with their pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit, and this time is no different. Americans should never give up or surrender to hopelessness and despair, no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how much the odds are stacked against them. Just as spring overcomes winter, Day overcomes Night, the light within us shall overcome the darkness around us. Its time for us to know that we are our own saviors, that there is an Extraordinary within us waiting to be unleashed, that freedom is our birthright and that we shall realize the American Dream! ​ The path to financial freedom is by educating and transforming ourselves into Entrepreneurs and Investors on the light side! In this podcast Cosmos Dar interviews Entrepreneurs and Investors who fought against the odds, and in many cases came from humble beginnings to attain financial freedom, to see how they did it. He hopes through all these stories that the Extraordinary within the audience shall awaken, that they shall take the actions necessary to abolish financial slavery from their lives and finally Realize the American dream!

    Attaining Your Goals by Influencing Your Subconscious Mind From a 4 Time World Champion with Stuart Wade

    In this episode, we welcome Stuart Wade, a multifaceted entrepreneur, investor, and high-performance mindset coach. Stuart shares his remarkable journey from a shy child inspired by Bruce Lee to a four-time world champion in martial arts. He discusses the pivotal moments that shaped his career, including his early failures and the transformative power of visualization. Tune in as Stuart reveals how he helps elite performers break mental barriers and unlock their full potential, leading with clarity and purpose for lasting impact.

From a shy 6-year-old boy inspired by Bruce Lee to a 5th Dan black belt in taekwondo, a 2nd Dan in kickboxing, and a 4-time world champion, Stuart's journey has been anything but ordinary.  At age eight, he failed his first black belt test. That failure became a defining moment that ignited a relentless drive for mastery, shaping the rest of his life. His early discovery of visualization at the age of 16 transformed his performance and sparked a lifelong obsession with the power of the subconscious mind.  But it wasn't until he encountered clinical hypnotherapy during a low point in his competitive career when fear and fatigue were eroding his edge that everything changed. That single breakthrough led to advanced studies with Paul McKenna and Dr. Richard Bandler and over a decade of work helping elite performers break mental barriers and transform from the inside out.  Today, Stuart works with business leaders, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, and world-class athletes. High, athletes. High-achieving men who, despite their external success, often battle self-doubt, inner pressure, and a persistent sense that something is still missing.  His mission is clear: to help those at the top unlock their fullest potential so that they can lead with clarity, live with purpose, and create impact that truly matters. He has been featured in articles in the Emerson, Daily Mail, and the Daily Mirror, and he's an extraordinary American.  Connect with Stuart: https://www.instagram.com/themindcoachuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuart-wade-the-mind-coach/ https://themindcoach.co.uk/ Connect with Extraordinary America: https://extraordinary-america.com/platform Or Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0Vw_CW7dxHU
