Summary: I feel so blessed to be here. I'm really, really reveling in how great it is to be alive and how blessed and lucky I feel to be with you wherever you are at the moment. We’re connected through this podcast, connected through this Conscious PIVOT community and that’s a gift. That’s a gift in my life. I hope it’s a gift in yours as well. I've got an incredible guest on the show. I'm going to introduce you to him but I’ll say a couple of words first about him and then he is going to tell us about his pivot journey. I know that so many of you out there are deep, deep, deep in your pivot. Deep into the midst of it and sometimes it’s the muck and sometimes it’s the mire and sometimes it’s being on top of a mountain feeling like it’s the greatest thing in the world that’s ever happened. That’s the nature of pivoting. That’s the nature of making changes in our lives based on what our heart is directing us to do often and that takes courage. It takes guts. It’s takes fortitude. It takes resilience. It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. It’s for people who love their lives and love to get after it. This gentleman that I'm going to share with you, he gets after it.<br> <br> One of the things that I really love about him is his energy, his enthusiasm, his authenticity. I've gotten the chance to work with him so he is not a stranger to me. He’s actually a friend, he’s a colleague and he’s somebody that I've gotten the chance to spend some time mentoring and working with directly related to his pivot and in particular, his getting after the speaking piece of his business model that he wants to work on, public speaking. That’s something that terrifies so many people, the idea of standing up in front of a crowd of people and speaking and sharing some information. It is truly such a transformational opportunity, an opportunity to help people change their lives and at the same time build relationships that promote and assist in the development of your business. This gentleman is no exception to that. He’s working on this deep, deep, deep. His name is Brett Grossman. He is a father like me, a husband, a daddy, a trainer, a serial entrepreneur and a financial services expert. He resides in beautiful Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.<br> Watch the Episode Here:<br> <br> Listen to the podcast here:<br> <br> A PIVOT Journey with Brett Grossman: Finding the Real Me Again<br> Welcome to the show, Brett.<br> <br> Thank you so much, Adam. I appreciate all the kind words. I'm grateful to be here.<br> <br> Share a little bit about your pivot. You and I know each other a while now and I met you at a business conference about a year and a half ago or so. You were going through a bit of a hard time if I recall right around then or just coming out of a pretty tough experience. Without naming names or anything like that, share a little bit about what was happening in your life back then and then we’ll get into what you did about it.<br> <br> If we went into the time machine and went back, it was early February of 2017 exactly and I was going through this storm. I think we can all relate to going through storms and trials and tribulations, not in a personal way but more so from a business aspect and I was questioning a lot of things about myself, “Why I was here? What I was meant to do? What message I was meant to deliver to others?” For the last six and a half years, I've been operating out of the financial services sector and I had a successful business that was operating in several states. We had a nice group of individuals and one thing led to another and two personalities collided. The next thing I know, I had a business taken out from under me. Without the right type of legal agreement, which is entirely on my hands that wasn’t in place, I found myself at a crossroads. That crossroads was, “Do I continue to follow on the path of where I was going? Do I continue to follow on the path of being in the servic...
