This week’s show with Carl Paoli is about building a personal brand and driving your philosophies into what you put in the world.
What excites me most about this conversation is the unspoken prerequisite for achieving the above: personal accountability and responsibility, aka complete ownership of our actions and choices.
Carl is a world-class athlete – a gymnast who founded Gymnastics WOD and wrote the best-selling book Free+Style – and a world-class thinker and thought leader.
After years of having Carl on our “guest wish list” we caught up with him in San Francisco for this epic conversation about bringing a heightened intention and awareness to everything we do: from movement to business, from marketing to leading.
Enjoy.

- Finding clarity is key to understanding your stand and how to drive that through your life/business. Clarity takes time. Doing the reps is always going to be part of the process. Keep asking yourself the essential questions and act in your own best interests. “It’s a never-ending story”
- Carl isn’t creating a business to solve people’s problems. He’s creating a business that allows them to get to their solutions.
