Breaking Old Paradigms with Brian Falduto

Send us Fan MailIn this inaugural episode of 2024, I interview critically hailed indie musician and Life Coach, Brian Falduto. After garnering international attention for playing “Fancy Pants” in the massive cult-classic School of Rock, Brian Falduto has overcome the challenges of child star fame, rediscovered himself, transforming into both a successful country music artist and a PCC-certified life coach. His recent album, "Gay Country", is jam-packed with LGBTQ joy & features the viral lead single, "Same Old Country Love Song". Brian has traveled the country performing and speaking at Pride events, sharing himself vulnerably and offering hope to countless young people with his story. We start by discussing his song and music video, “God Loves Me Too” and hear the story that inspired him to write it.  Next we touch on what it was like playing a gay role at 11-years old in 2003 during a time lacking in acceptance of gay folks- and Brian shares about the homophobia it forced him to face. We then get into his personal journey with spirituality, looking at the power of mindfulness and meditation to find that still “space beyond the ego.” And, how from that seat of awareness you can observe life happening rather than just being consumed by life happening.  We then get into the science behind anxiety and how information of our body/mind systems can help people find more effective strategies for dealing with stress. We end chatting about what lights him up about creating and sharing his music.Learn more about Brian here - https://www.brianfalduto.com/Connect with Wil here- https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/Support the show
