Ep. 138 | The Greatest You with Trent Shelton

The greatest you. Take a moment to reflect on the moments of greatness in your life —when you chose abundance over scarcity, truth over excuses and courage over fear.

Now ask yourself another question: how often do you tap into this version of yourself?

And what if you could make it the default mechanism in your life?

That's what the Academy's latest guest is going to help you do —Trent Shelton. Trent is a former NFL wide receiver that is now considered one of the most impactful speakers of this generation.

He reaches over 60 million people weekly through hard-hitting videos and unprecedented engagement. Though based in Fort Worth, Texas with his wife and two children, Trent connects with people all over the world through his speaking engagements.

In this conversation, we go deep into turning your pain into growth, how to be consistent on a daily basis, why the details tell a story on how you're going to show up in other key moments —and so much more, including:

• How Trent defines success as peace
• Why solitude is the key to perspective
• Why you must protect your peace daily
• How to be in alignment with your life
• Why financially free doesn't mean freedom

• Why starting your day with a win is crucial
• How to be consistent long term 
• How to turn your mission into a "have" to
• If you treat it like a hobby, you'll get hobby results
• How to be willing to get embarrassed to grow
