117. Challenging Conformity by Telling The Truth

 

“God does not play dice with the universe.”

-Albert Einstein

Grab some coffee and be ready to go deep on this conversation today! I am excited to welcome The Anomaly Architect, Troy McTeer,  to the T&T mic! Troy is the secret weapon to the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and ultra-high performing individuals consumed with intense pressure to perform at the highest level. He works exclusively with anomalistic industry leaders – illuminating the illusion of their minds to destroy the addiction of mediocrity and conformity – leading them to achieve extreme Mental & Emotional Prowess by unlocking their unique master sovereignty. Tory is known for his unconventional techniques to help his clients see real results in a streamlined fashion. Today we are going to talk about Troy’s personal journey and how it led him to his own mental prowess and in turn developed his coaching practice. We cover the universe, core values, breakdowns and breakthroughs, and how all is right on time. Some people call it woo woo, some quantum physics, but we all know one thing: energy is everything. Lean into get your mind, thoughts, and your own personal prowess right so you can challenge conformity and live in your authentic truth.

Highlights:

Truth. Challenging conformity. Influencers and marketing. Bread downs, breakthroughs, choosing greatness. Leveling up and leveling out. Being an anomaly. Energy, however you brand it. Questioning a better way and working to live in alignment.

Troy McTeer:

From a very young age, Troy defied ”the norm”, as his rebellious spirit sought out a life on the edge. He left a career in Accounting to explore the world of professional poker for 6 years, where he began to understand and master the power of extreme mental, emotional and psychological clarity. After leaving poker, he implemented his newly found skills in a corporate real estate career. Troy excelled in real estate but it was empty. He was conforming to a narrative that he was told, by society, would make him successful. He found himself navigating depression and suicidal ideation after living a lie trying to conform to society’s expectations of him. After being told he would be on medication his whole life, he harnessed the power of his mind to rid himself of all medication – after only 10 months – shattering the paradigm of mental health to achieve a state of extreme Mental Prowess.

There is NOTHNG to gain from colouring inside the lines, except for living a painfully slow death. His philosophy purposefully confronts his clients with their physical mortality – to ignite their very deep desire to live a life free from the madding mediocrity created by the illusion of fear. Extreme Mental Prowess can only be activated once you take noble responsibility for who you are in this world and cure the cancer of victim mentality. Troy does not believe in “normal” linear systems. Who said life had to be linear? When in Troy’s presence you will become The Master of Mental & Emotional Prowess. In his world, miracles are expected and the only “norm” there is. You are the Anomaly. Your whole life you have been the outlier, pushing boundaries, pushing yourself, creating extraordinary results – results that others could never even dream of. You have been labelled “crazy”, “mad”, “unrealistic” and, over time – unknowingly, dulled your self-expression, creativity and genius in a futile attempt to appear “normal” in the eyes of the mediocre people littered in your life. Your massive vision for your business, your life and yourself sends shockwaves of discomfort down people’s spines forcing you to dumb down your desires – to “fit in”. This has led to a lack of energy, escapism, weakening willpower, burnout, self-doubt and a life absent of “time”. Why? Because you lack the one thing that an Anomaly requires – Mental Prowess. The new paradigm is here – Mental Prowess: Sangfroid – Unflappable Resourcefulness Under Pressure, Noble Personal Responsibility, Brutal Honesty with Yourself, Unwavering Self-Belief and the Ownership of your Anomalistic Power. I am able to see your Mental Prowess hidden deep in your psyche, point it out, unlock it, expand it and deliver it to you – rapidly. I am leading the revolution into extreme Mental Prowess by showing the world’s most successful executives, entrepreneurs and ultra-high performing individuals – consumed with intense pressure to perform at the highest level – how to achieve Mental Prowess. Your technical know-how and unquestionable intelligence have got you this far – the only limitation now is your lack of Mental Prowess. Your brilliant psyche is complex, with many moving cogs, yet the tiniest speck of dust can easily bring it to a halt. I will calmly point out that speck and gently blow it away leaving you empowered with extreme Mental Prowess.  You have been thinking small – even though you don’t think so – you have been thinking way too small. It is time to think bigger & bolder, “crazier” & “madder” and even more “unrealistic” than ever before because you are the Anomaly and your vision will never be dumbed down for anyone or anything…ever again. Mental Prowess is rare and only for those who have the courage to own their power, stand in it and create from It.  Mental Prowess is how the “impossible” becomes reality – every time.

116. Leading Yourself So You Can Lead Others

 

“The science shows that the secret to high performance isn’t our biological drive or our reward-and-punishment drive, but our third drive – our deep-seated desire to direct our own lives, to extend and expand our abilities, and to make a contribution.” 

– Daniel Pink, Drive 

A longtime friend and #VARSITY human is in the T&T house!!… I am pumped to welcome Carol Fabrizo to the T&T mic, we are going to cover all things personal evolution, leadership, and coaching. Carol has a WEALTH of experience equal parts personal and professional. She has tackled the corporate world running with the c-suites and VP’s and is now a full-time entrepreneur. Carol is a longtime competitive athlete and gets some extra cardio being mom. Communication has been a running theme in Carol’s life and has now taken the opportunity as a coach to bring all of her expertise to the world to help us (individuals and businesses) consciously decide who we want to become and then help us design the process to make the transformation happen. Athletes know you need to keep good coaches in your life consistently, for the duration of your athletic career. Friendly PSA: We are all athletes in the game of life, needing to lean into that athletic mentality. Good coaches are essential/luxury and can streamline so many processes exponentially. Get someone around you that knows more than you. Check out what Carol has going on and get inspired to dial in and level up, the world is counting on each of us to seek our best selves and show up accordingly. That is the only way to real peace. #NoPressure 🙂

Highlights:

Life and leadership coaching. Leading with the heart vs. the resume. Trial and error. Failure and success. Core values and your personal journey. All things being on time. God, universe, Madonna… and expensive studies that prove we were right. Smart people finding even smarter people. Leading with the heart and humanizing the brand aka telling the truth. Being yourself and not over complicating it. But you probably will, so call Carol.



Carol Fabrizo:
I am a mom, leader, coach, speaker, strategist, advocate and athlete. 
 
My mission is to help individuals and organizations consciously decide who they want to become and then help them design the process to make that transformation happen.
 
I deeply value courage, learning, leadership and joy – which is exactly what it takes to step into a new way of leading, a new career, or a new life. 
 
You can change how you lead. 
 
You can change your life. 
 
I can help. 
 
About:
I’ve made a lot of moves.
 
I was raised in small town Illinois, educated in big city Los Angeles (go Trojans), marinated in Denver, and am now settling down back in the Midwest (Indianapolis) with my Olympian wife and toddler son. 
 
I have been a Big Law lawyer, in-house counsel in a public company, a CEO’s Chief of Staff, and the Chief Communications and Marketing Officer for a high-profile sports organization.
 
I have gone from being an individual contributor to being a leader, a facilitator, an executive, and now a coach.
 
I have become a wife and a mom.
 
I have come out (as gay), over and over again, to every new person I meet.
 
Every one of these transitions came out of some sticking point, a struggle between who I thought I was and who I wanted to become.

And for a long while, I dreaded that process – the questioning, the confusion, the pain of the in between. I knew it was necessary for growth, but I certainly did not enjoy it.  
 
But then I started to see that there is beauty and opportunity in that liminal space. Every struggle and every transition – even (maybe especially) the painful ones – provides an opportunity to connect to who you are now and redefine who you want to become. 
 
That is why I do this work now: to help individuals and organizations see that opportunity and the freedom that comes with those transitions; to help them consciously decide who and what they want to become; and to help them make the transformations necessary to get there.
