For me, faith is the foundation of everything. It’s the belief that there’s something greater guiding my steps, and it’s what gave me the courage to walk away from a 20+ year career—to leave security behind and pursue a life that truly fulfills me.

In this video, I share how faith shaped my personal formula, including the powerful moments of climbing a pole and walking through fire—moments that tested my belief and forced me to step forward, even when the path wasn’t clear.

But here’s the truth:
This is my formula. I’m not here to tell you what to believe or how to define your values. Whether you find strength in God, the universe, or another belief system, the heart of this message is about trusting in something greater than yourself.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why faith became the cornerstone of my journey.
✅ How to overcome fear by trusting in something beyond yourself.
✅ Why belief—whatever that looks like for you—can be a powerful catalyst for growth.

Faith is personal. This is mine. I invite you to consider how belief, in whatever form it takes, can strengthen your own journey toward authenticity.

For most of my life, I believed family should always come first. It felt like the right thing to say—and to do. But here’s what I’ve learned: if you don’t take care of yourself first, you can’t take care of your family well.

In this video, I explain why I place faith, fitness, and finances ahead of family—not because they matter more, but because they enable me to serve my family better. It’s like the oxygen mask rule on an airplane: you have to secure your own mask first, or you won’t be able to help anyone else.

When I neglected my personal foundation, I felt burned out, trapped, and taken for granted. But when I prioritized my alignment—my faith, health, and financial fitness—I became the best version of myself for my wife, my kids, and even my dog.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why putting yourself first is the most selfless thing you can do for your family.
✅ How neglecting personal priorities leads to burnout and resentment.
✅ The real meaning of leadership at home—and how I live it through Team Holden.

This is how I’m leading my family now. It’s not about putting them last—it’s about making sure they get the strongest, most grounded version of me every single day.

Most people think finance is all about making money and saving it. But real financial strength comes from managing both—how much you earn and how wisely you spend.

In this video, I share my personal shift in financial thinking, especially after stepping away from my career. It’s not just about chasing bigger income. It’s about protecting what you have, reducing surprise expenses, and making smart decisions that honor where you are today.

Like when I chose to refurbish my minivan instead of replacing it. I could have spent $100K on something new, but I invested $7K to breathe new life into what I already had. That’s financial wisdom—spending less so you can stay strong for the long game.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why financial fitness isn’t just about earning more—it’s about spending smarter.
✅ How to reduce financial stress by eliminating surprise expenses.
✅ The mindset shift that will help you protect your resources and build wisely.

Money is a tool, but how you use it defines your future. This is how I’m navigating finances in my season of change—and it’s a lesson that applies to any season of life.

If your body breaks down, so does everything else. That’s what I learned the hard way.

In this video, I share my journey of losing over 40 pounds—not to look good, but to live strong. To have the energy, focus, and strength to be the man I was called to be. I lost the weight before I resigned from my career, and that discipline gave me the courage to take bigger leaps.

Fitness isn’t about vanity. It’s about building a body that can carry the weight of your life, your responsibilities, and your mission. It’s about energy, clarity, and longevity. Because if your body doesn’t work, nothing else can either.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why physical fitness is about far more than looks.
✅ How discipline in the body leads to discipline in life.
✅ The pain I pushed through—and why it was worth it.

You only get one body. Let’s make it one that can carry you through every challenge, every breakthrough, and every season of life.

This one’s controversial, but it’s true: your friends are a direct reflection of who you are and who you’re becoming. Like it or not, you rise or fall to the level of the people you surround yourself with.

In this video, I challenge you to think about whether your friendships are helping you grow or holding you back. That’s not an easy conversation. It’s uncomfortable. It’s controversial. But if you’re committed to living with maximum personal authenticity, this is one area you can’t afford to ignore.

This framework isn’t about judging others. It’s about being honest with yourself. Because if you’re evolving but your circle isn’t, you’ll feel stuck, conflicted, and out of alignment. And sometimes, relationships fade—not because of conflict, but because growth creates distance. That’s okay. It’s part of the growing process.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why your friendships are a mirror of your values, beliefs, and priorities.
✅ How to evaluate which relationships serve your growth—and which don’t.
✅ Why letting go of certain friendships isn’t betrayal—it’s personal alignment.

This isn’t about canceling people. It’s about choosing the right energy to carry you into the next phase of life. You don’t become your best self by accident. It’s shaped by who you walk with.

If you’re doing all this strategic work to build your best life, fun can’t be optional. It’s the glue that holds this entire framework together. Without fun, you miss the joy, the laughter, and the peak moments that make life worth living.

In this video, I share how fun is integrated into every F—because it’s not something you wait for; it’s something you create. Whether it’s playing bocce ball with my Bible group, dancing my way through a fitness journey, or enjoying the challenge of redesigning a minivan, fun is woven into everything.

This framework isn’t rigid. It’s a living structure—one where you prioritize based on the situation you’re negotiating at any given time. Some days, faith leads. Other days, fitness or finances take the front seat. But fun? Fun has to be everywhere if you want to take your life to the next level.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to intentionally build fun into every part of life.
✅ Why fun isn’t a reward—it’s a requirement for sustained growth.
✅ How fun accelerates your energy, mindset, and joy across all 7 F’s.

You don’t need to wait for permission to enjoy life. The next level isn’t just about achieving more. It’s about experiencing more joy while you do it.

Every successful journey starts with a clear formula—a personal calibration of your core values and non-negotiables. Without it, you’re just drifting, letting the world define your path for you.

In this video, I’ll help you identify the absolutes that define who you are and who you’re becoming. These aren’t “nice-to-haves.” They’re the musts that ground your decisions, shape your future, and keep you aligned with your true self.

What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to define your core values and create a personal blueprint.
✅ Why most people drift without realizing it—and how to stop it.
✅ How to stay aligned with your highest priorities, even in the chaos of life.

If you don’t define your path, someone else will. Let’s make sure your path is yours.

This isn’t just a framework. It’s the path I created and followed to avoid being defeated by life’s challenges. The 7F’s are how I learned to stay aligned, stay authentic, and stay true to who I’m called to be.

But here’s the key—this isn’t a rigid formula. It’s a living structure. The order of priority isn’t fixed because life isn’t fixed. There will be times when faith needs to come first, and other times when finances or fitness demand more focus. It’s about negotiating the season you’re in and knowing how to shift priorities without losing yourself.

The examples I’ve shared aren’t a prescription for you. They’re simply the real steps I took to get closer to my highest authenticity quotient (AQ). They represent my journey, my lessons, and my breakthroughs.

What You’ll Walk Away With:
✅ The freedom to prioritize each F based on what life requires right now.
✅ The understanding that authenticity is fluid, but alignment is critical.
✅ The reminder that this isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real and moving forward with purpose.

This is my path. Now it’s yours to walk in whatever way brings you closer to your own authentic life.
