Show Notes

• As a child, Ody used sports as an outlet to express his inner-creativity in ways that ultimately led to him being an elite athlete on the football field and record-holder in the high jump at his high school in the Bay area.
• After earning a degree in Exercise Physiology from San Diego State University, he became an entrepreneur and constructed the type of fitness company every personal trainer dreams of having one day. A six figure income, two fully staffed facilities, Corporate America account stability, and more. However, seven years ago, he began realizing people aren't struggling with diet and exercise - what they are truly struggling with is their mental and emotional health.
• This caused him to incorporate more, “inner-work” with his fitness clients, causing him to take on a Carl Jung-like style of teaching and training that involves making the unconscious conscious, and people loved it :)
• He was sold on this career path, when the 16 year old daughter of one of his clients allowed him to try his method with her because she suicidal. The girl texted him and said, “Ody, I’m still alive because of the work that you did with me!”
• These days, Ody is more committed than ever to showing parents how-to techniques for teaching their kids emotional intelligence, highlighting how the school system is “missing the mark” in the mental health arena, and how to tackle what the medical system isn’t able to, when it comes to trauma, getting triggered and going inward and doing what is commonly referred to as, "Shadow Work."
