How A Cowboy-Turned-Wealth-Advisor Uses His Unique Ability® As A Life Filter, with Fred Feistmann

Fred Feistmann has been a cowboy, a logger, an oil patch worker, an engineer, an auctioneer, and a wealth advisor. Every four years or so, he reinvents himself. But when he pulled out his Unique Ability® card in an airport recently—eight years after his session with Julia Waller—he read through all 12 Best Habits and wouldn't change a single word. In this conversation, Fred shares how his Unique Ability of collecting, reframing, and repackaging ideas to facilitate awakenings has become the through line across every chapter, the filter for every relationship, and the foundation that gives him confidence to walk into whatever’s next.Key TakeawaysYour Unique Ability is the distillation of your entire past—the Discovery Process doesn't create something new, it makes conscious what you've been doing unconsciously your whole life.Creating Islands Of Time™—protected spaces for reflection and deep conversation—is how you access your Unique Ability at its purest, whether alone or with others.The pandemic became a natural laboratory for Unique Ability when every trivial stimulus was removed, leaving only the vital few—and the energy was so intense, his kids still remember it.Your Unique Ability doesn't change, but your understanding deepens, new dimensions reveal themselves, and you apply it in increasingly refined ways over years.Knowing your Unique Ability gives you grounding in transition. When you don't know what's next, you know who you are, and that's enough to move forward with confidence.Notable Resourceswww.strategiccoach.comwww.uniqueability.comUnique Ability® 2.0: Discovery book & workbook: https://uniqueability.com/the-book/Unique Ability Book Club Guide: https://www.strategiccoach.com/resources/guides/unique-ability-20-discovery-book-club-discussion-guideKolbe Index: www.kolbe.comCliftonStrengths® 34: www.gallup.comPRINT® Survey Special Offer via Strategic Coach: REGISTRATION LINK: www.PrintSurvey.com/specialofferACCESS CODE: P8768Learn more about Tamar’s podcast studio: https://podcastimpactstudio.com/Contact Fred here: [email protected]’ll find Fred’s Substack hereYou can see Fred’s full Unique Ability Best Habits here.Fred’s Unique Ability: My Unique Ability is collecting and repackaging ideas that facilitate an awakening and inspire people to take action in ways that are fulfilling and meaningful.Kolbe: 6454CliftonStrengths: Achiever, Responsibility, Maximizer, Learner, BeliefPRINT: 1-2 Medium For things to be perfect, correct, and right/To be needed and appreciatedReady to begin discovering your own Unique Ability?
