Join me in my latest men@pause seminar as I talk with Jayson Gaddis.

Are you a man in search of your authentic version of success and significance?

Jayson and I discuss:

1. The specific incident that led him to start Revolutionary Man?
2.  In his opinion, what do men need that they may not know they need to be a man?
3.  The role and power of accountability with men?
4.  Is there a society movement occuring or getting ready to occur for today’s man. If so, how will it be different from some men’s movements that some of our listeners may be familiar with?
   

Jayson Gaddis, The Inner Wealth Coach, is CEO of Revolutionary Man, a company devoted to smart guys getting out of the "American dream" and into visioning their own dream so that they can be game-changers the world needs.

Jayson works with Men committed to going beyond status quo Manhood and Men who are committed to reaching success in ALL areas of their life.

While Jayson is best known for his fierce coaching style, his students share that his biggest impact comes from his philosophy "A Man will never be truly fulfilled until he gets in touch with his Inner Jedi" - ensuring your Manhood is measured by who you are in each moment versus simply what you do. This, Jayson says, is the most important key to bringing a Man to reach his ultimate potential and fulfillment.
