THE OVERCOMERS - Episode 26, Brian Piergrossi - Health Crisis That Led To Transforming Lives
For this episode of THE OVERCOMERS, we're interviewing Mr. Brian Piergrossi who has helped transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world over the past 17 years.  However, it wasn’t always that way. At the age of 20 years old, Brian was suddenly struck by a mysterious, debilitating illness, later labeled as ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’, that lasted for over 10 years leaving him in intense, daily, physical pain and too weak to effectively function in society. When no medical or other authority figures could explain the suffering that was happening to him, Brian made it his life commitment to inquire into the root cause of human suffering & the core principles of vitality, achievement and fulfillment.  What began was over 11 years of committed, serious inquiry, study, and personal application into the fields of spirituality, religion, psychology, sociology, cosmology, ecology, health, arts, science, yoga, self-realization & personal development teachings. He read over 1000 books. He studied the teachings, and visited with, the greatest mentors and teachers around the world at the time.  After an all-night, soul-searching, walk-in-the-rain, Brian quit his job, and left his home in Northern California with the unrelenting sole intention of supporting individuals to transcend suffering and live the deepest dreams of their heart.  Since then, he has written two books that inspire new readers worldwide. He has worked online, and in person, with clients in every inhabited continent.  He has led transformative retreats, classes and workshops internationally in over two dozen countries.  He has shared his message as a featured guest on numerous radio and television programs and podcasts globally. He has lectured at colleges, schools, festivals, expos and conferences. His online social media posts and blogs have been shared with thousands of readers.  He, and his wife Annie, live in Asheville, North Carolina. They share monthly breathwork journeys and seasonal retreats. They both work online and in person.  “When the pillars of my limited mind collapsed, the roof caved in and I could take in the beauty of the stars.”-Brian Piergrossi from the book The Wow of the Now. #TheOvercomers #BrienPiergrossi #Author #podcast #overcomingadversity #adversity #learn #life #lifelessons #lesson #HealthCrisis #Coaching #Sexuality #VelkoTuhchiev #transforminglives

THE OVERCOMERS - Episode 25, Travis Ala - Safety Blankets, Men Who Fail To Lead, Strengths
For this episode of THE OVERCOMERS, Velko and Travis Ala discuss how to let go of safety blankets. They talked about men who fail to lead and identified the strengths of men and women.   The guest for this podcast, Mr. Travis Ala, known as "The Notorious Sinner," is the epitome of a man forged through fire, battle-hardened from the depths of despair to the peaks of triumph. A former Marine and SWAT team colossus, Travis's life took a hellish turn after a catastrophic traffic accident that snatched three lives and slapped him with the brand of public enemy number one. This wasn't just a fall from grace; it was a plunge into the abyss, where Travis battled demons of depression and addiction in the shadows of societal scorn.  Yet, surrender? Defeat? These words are not in Travis's dictionary. He clawed his way out of the pit, fueled by raw grit and an iron will, transforming his agony into a launchpad for a rebirth so fierce, it's the stuff of legends. Travis didn't just rebuild his life; he redefined it, becoming a titan in the entrepreneurial arena with a slew of successful ventures that screamed defiance against any who doubted his resurgence.  But Travis's saga is more than a tale of personal victory. As a single father, he raised a daughter with the ferocity and grace of a warrior queen, instilling in her the values of legacy and purpose. His journey through the valleys of hell to the summits of success equipped him with unparalleled wisdom, which he now wields to mentor others. Through coaching and electrifying talks, Travis is the beacon for those adrift in their storms, guiding them to the shores of their potential.  He is the living testament to the power of relentless perseverance, a beacon for any man looking to conquer his own battles and ascend to his alpha destiny. Travis proves with every breath that the depth of your fall is nothing compared to the height of your rise. He is the ultimate coach for those ready to level up without excuses, embracing ultimate accountability and an unyielding resolve to win at life. Travis Ala doesn't just teach resilience; he is resilience. His life is a battle cry, rallying every man to seize their greatness and never look back.  #TheOvercomers #adversity #sex #thoughtsaboutsex #men #menwhofailtolead #strengthsofmen #strengthsofwomen #safetyblanket #comfortzones #howtoletgo #howtobebetter #TravisAla #NotoriousSinner #VelkoTuhchiev #podcast #life #lifelessons #learn
