\nAre you \u201ctrying too hard” to succeed … Could that be getting in the way of success?
\nWhat if \u201cletting go\u201d was the fastest way to the success you dream of?
\nCould the same hold true for relationship success?
\n
\nSam Ryter is actually a former coaching client of mine. We worked together in the first half of 2018, and through our work Sam\u2019s approach to life, to his work, his creativity, and his intimate relationship, changed dramatically.
\nI invited him onto \u201cMen, This Way\u201d because a few months ago I got an email from him with an update that so deeply touched and inspired me.
\nHe actually proposed coming on to the podcast to share his experience coaching with me and all the magic that\u2019s been happening for him afterwards. I was a bit reluctant at first, not wanting to be overtly promotional with this podcast, but then I realized that the profound transformation Sam has been experiencing in every aspect of his life, is what EVERY MAN \u2013 and really EVERY WOMAN, too \u2013 is ACHING to experience in their own lives.
\nAnyway, Sam is just a really likeable, massive-hearted young man.
\nHis story is also reminiscent of my own in many ways \u2026 in fact, when we started working together, I kinda felt like I was working with my 25-year old self, which was pretty cool, actually \u2026\xa0
\nSam originally came to me to help mentor him in growing his own coaching business. But what actually happened for him through our work together was far more true to the deepest yearnings of his heart.\xa0
\nBut I\u2019ll let Sam tell the tale \u2026\xa0
\nIn this episode we talk about the courageous practice of surrender, of not trying to succeed, but rather just staying focused on giving your deepest gift to the world, with no attachment to outcome, and allowing success to then find you. We also explore what happened for Sam with his intimate partner, and how the awareness of masculine and femine energies completely shifted his experience of relationship \u2026 We talk about that \u2013 and more \u2026 and definitely stay tuned for Sam\u2019s 5 Key Takeaway’s at the end of this episode of Men, This Way \u2026
\nFinally, if this episode inspires in you the desire to finally work with a mentor, or a coach, yourself, and you think I could be the one to serve you on YOUR journey to creating the life you dream of and were BORN for … email support@bryanreeves.com … and let\u2019s explore working together.
