Though prior to embarking on this path of entrepreneurship, Chris spent time in the Marine Corps as an infantryman. Following his service, he took notice of the tragic state of many Veterans and made it his mission to help them live their best lives. Though this path did not come without challenges. Along the way Chris faced failed businesses, ruined relationships, he was without a home for a while and living out of his car, and he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Despite all of it, he pressed on and is now running a successful business. He's also taking good care of his health by staying active through weight lifting and jiu-jitsu.

Craig Ballantyne is a Wall Street Journal Best Selling Author, creator of the Perfect Day Formula, and advisor to some of the world's greatest entrepreneurs. He's also widely touted as The World's Most Productive Man, and if you take a look at what he's been able to build you would agree. At a young age, he turned his personal training business into a multi-million dollar online business empire. Since then, he's gone on to advise some of the most successful entrepreneurs both in the fitness world and in other industries including Bedros Keulian and Vince Del Monte. But there was a point where Craig was suffering big-time from the paralyzing effects of anxiety. His first attack happened when he was in the best shape of his life. He was working out and running almost every day and he had six-pack abs, but for six-months, he constantly felt like he was having a heart attack. He decided he needed to do something about it, so he set about reading everything he could to make it stop. Then he integrated systems and structures into his daily life to allow himself to become happier, healthier, more productive, more successful and ultimately more fulfilled. His latest book Unstoppable: How to Get Through Hell, Overcome Anxiety, and Dominate in Business and Life shows you how you can integrate these practices and overcome anxiety for good. For many Veterans and hard-charging civilians, anxiety is a crippling factor that keeps them from being their absolute best. If you're dealing with crippling anxiety, this episode and Craig's book will help you by delivering simple practices that you can begin to implement immediately. You'll learn: How to use simple breathing techniques to calm yourself down How nutrition plays a role in easing anxiety Why doing too much exercise can actually cause more anxiety How consuming alcohol can disrupt the restorative processes in your body that can help ease anxiety How you can get the benefits of meditation and yoga by starting with as little as a few minutes a day Why having structure and discipline in your life is so important to reducing anxiety And so much more. Craig really brought his top game to this episode and you will not be disappointed.

Self Development Is Key In Business Building: Starting and growing a business is an intense process of personal growth and development. There is nothing harder than overcoming limiting beliefs to start, pushing through hardship to continue, and continuing a personal development plan in order to thrive. It's a process of reaching deep into your soul power, personal development like no other, going to depths of your mind, and pulling out some gold to give to the world. Chris Albert and I dive into this topic on the Beyond Homo Sapien Podcast. On this episode, we chat about the process of personal development and spiritual growth undergone during the process of starting and growing a business. With multiple years of experience coaching for the London Real Academy, Chris has seen hundreds of new entrepreneurs begin this intense journey of personal development. Chris also went through this journey of self improvement himself by starting and growing Warrior Soul Agoge, a lifestyle brand that supports Military service members and veterans. Chris knows better than anyone the intense self development it takes to grow a successful business. Let's talk about this process and how it can aid in evolving our lives and taking everything to the next level: https://warriorsoulagoge.com/ Personal development is not easy. Throughout the process of growing a business, mistakes are often made that can set a person back a great deal. Having a mentor, coach, or consultant can help significantly with this process. In fact, working with someone further along the path will accelerate the process considerably. If you are looking for some help in this process, Chris has started a coaching program to help folks grow their business to where they want to be in life.
