119: Self-Fulfillment Coach, THRIVE, Vegas Shooting Debrief with Stefano Ganddini

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Self-Fulfillment in Life, Your Thriving Coach, and a Co-Host Debrief, After the Vegas Mass Shooting:

Stefano Ganddini is a Self-Fulfillment Coach, Speaker, Writer, and Lifestyle Entrepreneur. He helps people find & do the work they were BORN to do so that they can live authentic, fulfilling, and purpose-driven lives. We had the honor and pleasure of connecting up at the THRIVE 2017, Make Money Matter event in Las Vegas. Noting this was prior to the terrible, mass shooting tragedy that occurred the night of the closing of our event.

Dubbed a “black-belt life optimizer” by his alma mater (University of Southern California), Stefano started out in the personal development space by building a blog from scratch to nearly 1 million total page views. His work has reached hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world and he has personally coached dozens of people from all over the world.

He has been featured in and/or contributed to a number of publications, websites, podcasts and magazines including Business Insider, Lifehacker, USC Viterbi Magazine, Asian Efficiency, College Info Geek, and Life Skills That Matters, among many others.

Final Words:

What Stefano wants… is for people to know…

That you can do whatever it is you want to do! Whatever fears you have about other people, whatever other people think about them, whatever other people think about what they’re capable of doing or not, being afraid of failure, whatever the stories are…

If you have some desire to create something for yourself, if you have any sort of vision whatsoever, you don’t need it to be specific! Stefano can help you with it, other people can help you with that path. But if you feel you’re called to something greater and bigger than yourself, listen to that calling, there’s a reason why you feel that! It’s not just random!

Stefano believes that we are given any inspiration from something that is greater than us. To deny that, to get stuck in your head, to come up with all these excuses why you can’t… you are denying the reason you are put on this earth. You are denying your purpose and you are denying yourself from living a truly fulfilling, authentic, and purpose-driven life!

118: Making Money Matter with Academy of Skiing Scot Chrisman

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 13 Oct 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Academy of Skiing Creator and Today’s Co-Host:

I had the honor of meeting this episodes co-host, in person at this years, 2017 THRIVE: Make Money Matter event. We can thank our mutual connection with one of the event’s sponsors, The Billion Dollar Body community. Enough about our event networking, let’s learn about today’s co-host!

I’ve been skiing since the age of 2 and haven’t looked back since. At the age of 6, I was skiing competitively, racing for Eldora Mountain Ski Club and then Rowmark Ski Academy, until I graduated high school.

Skiing, Photography, Adventure, Passion, Culture. – Scot Chrisman

I hung up my skis and gave up my prospects for the US Olympic Ski Team in an attempt to take a break from skiing and live a normal life. But the mountains kept calling to me and I had to answer. It wasn’t long before I was out on the slopes with the wind in my face and the snow under my skis once more.

After almost two years of coaching ski racing in college, Big Mountain competitions stole me from my studies and led me on the path I’ve been skiing along for the past 7 years. I’ve chased the Freeskiing World Tour around the globe while living out of my car and sleeping on couches and in hotel rooms. I’ve learned more about skiing and the ski community on the road than I ever could have from skiing at home.

For 2 seasons the road was my home; I was filming, meeting like-minded people, and shredding Montana, Idaho, California, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Canada, Alaska, and Chile. I ended up in Crested Butte in 2012 for a competition and the valley stole my heart. After some exploration, I decided I was moving to CB. I’ve been nestled in the mountains for the past years continuing my pursuits of skiing and competing.

I am committed to sustainability and mindfulness, determined to battle climate change and better the world through skiing.

Final Words:

Scot wants to encourage each and every listener to realize that Yo Only Live Once aka Y.O.L.O. The term YOLO is a severely abused and overused term. It’s something that Scot is really trying to change, from inside and outside the ski industry, for everyone.

This is especially for millennials on the fact that “You Only Live Once” means that you should go out and fight every day to do your best job at being yourself. That doesn’t mean that you’re not going to make mistakes, that you’re not going to have rough days, or that perfection is even attainable.

Keeping that in the back of your mind, especially for Scot having a stark contrast on how quickly a light can be snuffed out. We can walk outside and be hit by a car. There are a number of things that can take you out on this planet. Understanding every moment matters and realize that you can really make a difference just by being you.
