Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts!
“We have to be really honest with ourselves, which I think is sometimes the hardest part. We have to really ask ourselves if we are happy in what we’re doing. Are we actually enjoying this, or do we really not like what we’re doing? Deep honesty [with ourselves] is where beautiful things come from.” – Stu Massengill
If you’re feeling lost and wanting to find direction, our inspiring Finding Brave guest shares so much wisdom in this episode, and at such a relatively young age! We cover some of the same issues and topics in the work that we both do, but in a different way with unique perspectives and “lenses,” and I can’t wait for you to meet him and learn from him today.
Stu Massengill is on a mission to change the statistic from 80% of people not loving what they do to 80% of people falling in love with what they do!
He is a Peak Performance Strategist for Tony Robbins and the founder of Finding Direction. Through his company, he helps people go from lost in life to creating a life full of passion and fulfillment.
As a high-achiever under 30, Stu has accomplished many things from building an 8-figure business at 20 years old to beating cancer at 24. Stu brings his deep passion and beautiful heart to creating lasting impact across the globe.
I’ve seen from working with thousands of people around the world that when we approach life in enlivening, self-affirming ways and become more of who we really are, we are much better equipped to successfully thrive through the tough times, as Stu has. It was so refreshing to hear his overarching message that we should never settle for anything less than a life we love, and not wait a single second longer to pursue what it is that you really want to do in this life.
Highlights from this Episode:
- What Stu got from his childhood years that has opened the door to him doing so much, already, in life [5:13]
- The perspective he gained from being diagnosed with cancer, and the two big things that helped Stu get through it [9:39]
- How Stu has experienced sadness and what he does when he finds himself getting into a negative state of mind [22:46]
- What he says is the best way to build genuine and long-lasting relationships with others [26:24]
- Powerful questions you can ask yourself to find direction and stay on the path [28:57]

- How to reframe a situation to overcome the fear and just get started towards getting what you really want [35:50]

THE AMAZING CAREER COACH CERTIFICATION TRAINING PROGRAM STARTS MARCH 22, 2022!
Do you run a coaching business that focuses on supporting women? If so, I’ve got some news.
Right now, we’re opening the enrollment of my coach training program called The Amazing Career Coach Certification, which is a 17-week, hands-on training program that certifies coaches in my proprietary 16-step career growth model, which is perfect for coaches and helping professionals who want a deeper dive into powerful, proven coaching frameworks, concepts, and skills that will help you become far more effective in working with professional women globally.
And through the program, you’ll get access to a powerful Small Business Acceleration program called The Rapid Growth Academy, delivered by my friend and colleague, award-winning business growth expert Matthew Pollard.
Through Matthew’s program, you’ll be taught essential business and sales growth info that will help you grow your business success in the quickest way possible.
In my view, there’s nothing on the market like for coaches because it targets the two critical aspects of success: how you support your clients to thrive, and just as importantly, how to grow your own business to the next level.
For more information, visit https://certification.amazingcareerproject.com/ and check out the details.
And don’t miss the wonderful early bird bonuses which expire March 12th, including $2,000 off the full price!

QUOTES FROM TODAY’S SHOW:
“I just felt like I was given such a beautiful environment to grow up in, and how could I not do everything in my power to try to help people, because I was fortunate?” [7:48]
“I don’t believe negativity serves a purpose in our life. It’s a waste of your energy.” [12:56]
“Cancer is a gnarly thing. You’ve got to be strong to get through it, but really if you know it’s happening for a greater reason, I think that can help you get through it a lot more easily.” [15:39]
“If you go back to those moments in your life and you really dig, and you really search, there’s always a blessing, a lesson, and a teaching that you can pull from that experience that is simply just preparing you for the next phase in your life.” [19:01]
“The deepest way to build genuine, beautiful, incredible, long-lasting, and real relationships with anybody is through vulnerability.” [26:23]
“The way to get automatic clarity in your life is through experiencing, not thinking.” [32:21]
“If we’re really not happy, we’ve got to find ways that we can try these other things that we think we might like in our life, in a way that’s not super risky. Once we try, that’s when we get clarity and then we can make a decision.” [32:52]
“You deserve to live a happy life. It’s simple, but sometimes we go through life and we make it so complicated and complex.” [40:37]

IS YOUR ORGANIZATION COMMITTED TO DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION AND SUPPORTING PROFESSIONAL WOMEN AND OTHER UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS TO SUCCEED AND THRIVE IN YOUR WORKPLACE?
IF SO, PLEASE ASK YOUR LEADERS TO SPONSOR THE MOST POWERFUL YOU COURSE/TRAINING FOR YOUR WORKFORCE TODAY!
Is your organization committed to supporting the growth and success of women and other underrepresented groups in your workforce? If so, do they offer opportunities for powerful hands-on career growth and leadership training that addresses the real-world challenges that these groups face in the workplace and in their careers that are often different from what men typically face?
I’m so thrilled that recently, a division of the United Nations recently sponsored several memberships to The Most Powerful You course for their staff members and what a powerfully supportive move that is, to bring real-world effective career and leadership training to professionals in their work cultures, to help them thrive and succeed and the highest level possible in their work and projects.
Coaching so many professionals and leaders as I do each year, I see that leadership and career growth training programs today are so often NOT effective because they simply don’t go deep enough to address what really holds us back from thriving, believing in ourselves, recognizing our talents and abilities, communicating effectively, asking for what we need, saying “STOP!” to mistreatment, building a great support community, and making the true impact we long to.
I’d like to make this request of you today:
Please take a look at what I’m teaching in The Most Powerful You course, which is the digital companion course to my book The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss, now being translated into Chinese, Arabic and Polish, and designated a top leadership book by the Leader to Leader journal and among the TOP 5 books for productivity, innovation, confidence-building, addressing stress and burnout, helping new grads make a “dent in the Universe” and more by The Next Big Idea Club.
If you feel that this content — about 7 most damaging power gaps that prevent 98% of women and 90% of men from reaching their highest potential and most thrilling and rewarding goals and how to close those gaps for good — would be helpful for you personally and for the people at your organization, I hope you’ll ask your leaders, supervisors, HR leaders, DEI managers and Learning & Development staff and ERGs to sponsor memberships of this course for you and other staff, so you can all thrive at the highest level in your roles and organizations.
And as always, please feel free to join the course directly!
Thank you so much for taking a stand for your best and happiest life, and here’s to becoming The Most Powerful You!
