For this episode of THE OVERCOMERS, we're interviewing Mr. Brian Piergrossi who has helped transform the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world over the past 17 years.
However, it wasn’t always that way. At the age of 20 years old, Brian was suddenly struck by a mysterious, debilitating illness, later labeled as ‘chronic fatigue syndrome’, that lasted for over 10 years leaving him in intense, daily, physical pain and too weak to effectively function in society. When no medical or other authority figures could explain the suffering that was happening to him, Brian made it his life commitment to inquire into the root cause of human suffering & the core principles of vitality, achievement and fulfillment.
What began was over 11 years of committed, serious inquiry, study, and personal application into the fields of spirituality, religion, psychology, sociology, cosmology, ecology, health, arts, science, yoga, self-realization & personal development teachings. He read over 1000 books. He studied the teachings, and visited with, the greatest mentors and teachers around the world at the time.
After an all-night, soul-searching, walk-in-the-rain, Brian quit his job, and left his home in Northern California with the unrelenting sole intention of supporting individuals to transcend suffering and live the deepest dreams of their heart.
Since then, he has written two books that inspire new readers worldwide. He has worked online, and in person, with clients in every inhabited continent.
He has led transformative retreats, classes and workshops internationally in over two dozen countries.
He has shared his message as a featured guest on numerous radio and television programs and podcasts globally. He has lectured at colleges, schools, festivals, expos and conferences. His online social media posts and blogs have been shared with thousands of readers.
He, and his wife Annie, live in Asheville, North Carolina. They share monthly breathwork journeys and seasonal retreats. They both work online and in person.
“When the pillars of my limited mind collapsed, the roof caved in and I could take in the beauty of the stars.”-Brian Piergrossi from the book The Wow of the Now.
