59: Beyond Courage

BEYOND COURAGE

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is born in the face of fear. You feel fear, and you take action in spite of it.

This defines the way of the warrior. Rod Hairston is an enlightened warrior. He’s tough and peaceful. He’s wise and humble. He wields power and influence from a loving heart.

Rod forged his courage through his work with elite Navy Seals, the CIA and DEA. He was a mobile communications trainer to special forces in these military organizations.

He was also a trainer for Tony Robbins for nine years. Today, he is one of the fastest growing authorities in the areas of organizational culture, leadership, and human potential.

His clients include star athletes, leaders at Disney, ABC, and Honeywell, to name a few.

Rod is an accomplished public speaker and the author of, “Are You Up for the Challenge? Six Steps to Lasting Change…Starting Now, Not Someday.”

Humans are storytelling machines. You and I are constantly creating, destroying, elevating, and diminishing ourselves with our inner narratives that appear and disappear in our minds 24/7. Most people are not aware of this process. As a result, they believe that life is happening to them. This feels random, chaotic, and scary. Why do people tolerate it? Because they tell themselves, "That's the way it is. That is reality." Those seven words could not be farther from the truth.

This podcast will explore the storytelling process that is responsible for every facet of your life. It will discuss and encourage ways to take control of your personal narrative so that you can begin directing your destiny with an empowering story.

About your host

Profile picture for Louis Di Bianco

Louis Di Bianco

Louis Di Bianco is a storyteller. He fell in love with storytelling as a child. In his teens, his ability to tell entertaining stories saved his life on the streets of the Bronx, where he grew up. He discovered quickly how to make the neighborhood tough guys like, trust, and respect him by engaging them with stories.

Louis became a professional stage and screen actor to get paid for his love of storytelling. He has appeared in numerous feature films, TV movies, and television series, as well as performing on stage internationally.

He has taught acting for both stage and camera for as long as he has been an actor. We're talking more than four decades. Eventually, he created courses in compelling communication for business people who want to present their ideas, products, and services to the world with clarity, confidence, and persuasive power.

Louis takes the words, Change Your Story, Change Your Life, very seriously. His life experience has taught him that every word we utter, every belief we embrace, is a made up story. Even your past is a made up story that seems so vivid that you swear it's real. Accept that, and you remove all the barriers between you and your dreams. You will be able to enjoy the adventure of changing your story to change your life.
