BHP 060: Carl Paoli | Maximize Life

This week’s show with Carl Paoli is about building a personal brand and driving your own philosophies into what you put out in the world.

What excites me most about this conversation is the unspoken prerequisite for achieving the above, which is personal accountability and responsibility, aka complete ownership of our actions and choices.

Not only is Carl a world class athlete – he’s an Olympic level gymnast who founded Gymnastics WOD and wrote the best-selling book Free+Style – he’s also a world class thinker and thought leader.

After years of having Carl on our “guest wish-list” we caught up with him in San Francisco for this epic conversation about bringing a heightened intention and awareness to everything we do: from movement to business, from marketing to leading.

Enjoy.
