His coaching style revolves around helping people create daily habits in order to make their dream lives happen.\\xa0\\n\\nJairek grew up in the self-help world. His parents are Tony Robbins and Liz Acosta, both of whom are self-help specialists. The first self-help seminar that he attended was before he was even born \\u2014 Jairek\'s mother taught a seminar about overcoming fear while she was pregnant with him.\\xa0\\n\\nFrom a young age, Jairek had a passion for helping others. He began growing in his purpose and finding direction in his life when he attended a Semester at Sea while being enrolled in the University of San Diego. He toured the globe and saw heartbreaking poverty, and he was moved by the fact that so many people were happy despite having practically nothing. He eventually began volunteering and teaching organic farming and English in Uganda, which reinforced his desire to help others.\\xa0\\n\\nAfter his time in Uganda, Jairek returned to his home in Southern California. He began working a corporate job and losing sight of what mattered most to him \\u2014 helping others and having deep, meaningful experiences. Despite his success, he felt empty inside. He knew that he didn\'t want to give up living with financial success, but he also wanted to follow his purpose in helping others. He left his corporate job and started his own coaching practice in order to help others create a successful, balanced life. Jairek found that with his new business, he had time to volunteer to help people in need and he had the financial means to invest in non-profit organizations. He was able to make his dream life become a reality, and today, he\'s going to give you some essential advice so you can do it too!\\n\\nThis interview really struck a chord with me.

Growing up, Jairek observed that his mother focused heavily on finding passion and engaging with her spirit while his father focused on working diligently to achieve his goals. His parents\\u2019 influence ultimately led to him living an exceptionally balanced life.\\xa0\\n"I use that artistic flowing, beautiful, feminine, pure consciousness of creativity and centeredness ...'
