Course overview

Imagine your day without fighting against yourself, the clock, or all the chaos

You're smart, you're hard-working, so why are you still grinding through your day?


In any moment you either step in a way that is degenerative or regenerative. The problem is we’ve been taught to identify and evaluate our steps with a limited lens. I compare it to defining the world through just the lens of classical physics versus also including the paradoxical laws of quantum physics. That disconnect results in feeling ongoing internal dis-ease, anxiety, and fear, and constantly feeling like you have to squeeze or overlook one part of life to help another.




This course does 3 things:


1) Helps you see just how subtle and taxing your limited lens is (that keeps you stuck in the grind) and how to release that conditioning


2) Introduces you to the 4 levels of life involved in maximizing regenerative work (life force, physical, mental/emotional, quantum)


3) Helps you master a shortcut to jumpstart the process of working regeneratively: understanding, tuning into, and orienting your daily steps toward greater expansion




Expansion, really?


Expansion is the consistent thread experienced when aligning any and all of the 4 levels of life. Expansion is what we experience with everything from greater love and security to feeling un-rushed, in awe, and at ease with the pressure and fear inside us. It's the ultimate North Star.


The challenge is that expansion is much more than feeling good or more of something. And the way we experience expansion involves tuning into the mind, body, and world around you in a way that often conflicts with the ways we've been taught to define and measure progress. This is why the daily grind persists.




This course is not going to ask you to dig deep or get more done quickly!


If all it took was getting more done quickly, or more free time, or even just digging deep and telling ourselves our taxing work situation is simply pure joy, we'd all be grind-free by now. There's more to the story. And it can seem counterintuitive until you realize the grind likely has always been there. In fact, even when you're on vacation, you're probably still grinding, albeit internally, with thoughts and worries about what's happening at work or the subtle or not-so-subtle sense of dis-ease you feel with pressure to make the most of your free time.

This course is for you if...

01

You’re a senior leader or entrepreneur age 35 to 55 who always has to be available or always has too much to get done

02

You’re sick of the grind affecting your sleep, health, relationships, and even what you think about when not working

03

You feel frustrated or confused because despite being smart, accomplished, and willing to do whatever it takes, the grind persists

04

You’ve tried all sorts of approaches that only moved the needle in the short-term and you're ready for sustainable change.

What people are saying

        After years of focusing on being hyper-productive, trying to balance being a parent, husband and exec I was burned out. By shining a light on some of my core assumptions, I learned how much of my work day & success centered around grinding to avoid certain fears. The tools/practices David uses are refreshing, highly effective, and life changing.

        It's helped me progress in a healthy way through some of the hardest and most painful experiences I’ve ever had, including deep loss and grief and very challenging and disorienting change. Our sessions have had a truly lasting effect on my well-being, and I feel empowered and in tune with my body and emotions in an authentic and meaningful way.

Course Syllabus

01

Regain Control

We’ll start by getting clear on the full extent and impact of grinding in your life. Learn why grinding is about alignment and not outputs or outcomes. Discover a powerful mind-body practice that taps into your inner wisdom to define your optimal state and a personalized new map you can use during the course to begin untangling from the grind.

02

Let Go of Burdening Beliefs and Toxic Conditioning

We'll identify your toxic conditionings, limiting beliefs, and Core Conditioned Mindset that keep you stuck in grind mode. You'll learn a powerful technique that integrates the body and NLP to release your most burdensome limiting belief. We'll then re-engineer a recent work challenge to see how effective you can be without the grind.

03

Develop a Daily Core Stability Practice

We'll learn about several critical topics and tools that help you go through your day with ongoing inspiration and renewal. This includes how to cross the Rapid Transformation Threshold, the power of sequencing your day, utilizing active recovery over passive, and my M.A.G.I.C framework for engaging expansion and inner flow on-demand.

04

Stay Out of the Grind

We’ll explore the 4 levels of life involved in maximizing regenerative work long-term: life force, physical, mental/emotional, & quantum. We'll also look at discerning key thresholds such as: urgency versus eagerness, straining versus flowing, attachment versus discipline, and being powerful versus forceful.
