Alex Perry On Fire

One year - countless stories of resilience. In this special anniversary episode of Alex Perry on Fire, Alex opens up about the "river below the river"—those hidden struggles we all carry but never share, and why his twin brother Elliott's journey from rock bottom to finding light changed everything for their family. After a year of raw conversations, Alex has learned that everyone is paddling below the surface just to stay afloat, fighting battles no one sees, which is why he stopped being "just Alex Perry the real estate agent" and started sharing the truth.This episode is for anyone who's ever felt completely alonein their darkness, who has no one to turn to, or who's carrying burdens from family trauma and old survival patterns that no longer serve them. Alex share why finding your "play"—that thing that fires you up with pure joy—might be the key to transforming your life, just as it transformed his andElliott's. Whether you've been here since day one or this is your first episode, remember this: we are all in this together, your struggles don't define you, and you are never, ever alone.Your turn to start the fire.Like what you heard today on Alex Perry on Fire?

Twins Alex and Elliott Perry not only talk about growth—in this episode, they also show it. Alex asks some tough questions about his brother's road back from rock bottom. And Elliott talks more about the value of authenticity, vulnerability and accountability in overcoming self-doubt and negative thinking.

From the uneven bars to a balanced life, Liukin talks about the importance of not relying solely on skills or achievement but in finding purpose and passion. The whole world applauded her for perfection on the floor, but when she retired from gymnastics, she wondered, “Who am I?”

Something special happens inside a little, white-brick building on Lovers Lane in Dallas, Texas, and even the neighbors have noticed. Customers step out of Xristofer Crowder's salon, Coloured on Lovers,  like they don't have a care in the world. It's because he offers a listening ear without judgment and strives to make others feel truly heard and supported through life's valleys.

Everybody talks about work-life balance. Alex and Elliott find out how pro golfer Martin Flores does it—and how he had to make tough career choices to be the father he always planned to be without losing the income he wanted to make. The key word here: priorities.

When Bri Forrest heard the marriage proposal, she literally felt bad energy shooting from her fingertips. The universe was telling her, once again, to stop abandoning herself for her relationships. So, she said no to the fiancé and stepped away from others who were holding her down. In this episode, Alex learns her techniques for grounding herself and finding balance.

Today's guest has been called a machine programmed for success. But achievement didn't make Kyle Towb happy. Instead, this entrepreneur happened upon the path to peace thousands of miles away from home. Alex leans into Kyle's positive energy to discover how The Machine let go of the world and opened up to the journey.

When one bad moment goes viral, how do you recover? Tiffany Gomas isn't proud of what happened aboard an American Airlines flight out of Dallas last summer. For the first time, she reveals why it happened and how she's moving on.

How finding the balance brings your soul back True fulfillment in life comes down to two things: Column A and Column B. But, too often, the work responsibilities that dominate Column A overshadow the pure joy of what fills up Column B—family, friends and everything not related to work. That awareness of balance has caused today's guest, Andrew Welker, to reignite his life more than once. Here's how he got Alex to set off on this journey toward recognizing what is really important and seeking deeper experiences on the daily.

Alex knew his twin brother, Elliott, was in a very scary place. Yet he could not help him, but only support and direct him to mental health professionals. Share in this very candid conversation as Alex goes deep with his twin—and his first guest—about expressing love and the pressure of always feeling the need to help others instead of yourself. And Elliott opens up about the challenges of finding joy, wholeness and peace after hitting rock-bottom. To celebrate and honor this inaugural season of Alex Perry on Fire, we are donating $10,000 to CARE-Dallas. CARE-Dallas is a nonprofit that provides a safe, confidential space to receive resources and education about substance use disorders https://www.care-dallas.org/

Who is Alex Perry and why the On Fire Podcast? By age 40, Alex had sold over $1 billion in luxury real estate, ranking him No. 1 in Texas luxury and No. 19 overall in the United States. A resilient and successful entrepreneur, dealmaker, connector and keen investor, he was at the perceived top. But was he really? He was on cruise control, just riding through life, when some significant obstacles came his way.  He realized he needed to get fired up to make some real changes.   His real estate career was thriving, but he struggled to find  balance and exciting, new ventures. His priorities were out of sync, and he wanted to find true enlightenment in life—to harvest the energy within himself and  join others to make a difference.  So, he launched Alex Perry On Fire to ignite real and raw conversations so everyone could listen and engage to know that they were not alone—everyone has struggles and might need a reset. Alex Perry On Fire serves as a beacon, urging us to explore our true potential and be honest with ourselves when we need to make hard decisions that we know are best.   Throughout this journey, Alex's guests—the torchbearers—will touch on their vulnerabilities, their struggles and even their missteps, and will lead us to discover freedom, awareness and change. The journey will change you. Come along and fire up a newfound energy in life with Alex Perry On Fire.
