In this episode, Greg Faxon, business coach and writer, explores how to unlock your core brilliance. Greg discusses the mental shift he has experienced from leaving the city to live in rural West Virginia on The Riverside Project, a 60-acre farm property that he and his partner, Emma Huvos, have cofounded. He reflects on life lessons learned from stepping back from elite Spartan racing due to injury.
In this episode, I discuss the inspiration, purpose, and details behind the Revolution Why Immersion with change makers, Emma Huvos, Greg Faxon, and Izzy Darby. Revolution Why is a retreat for growth-minded millennials who want to question their relationship with their work, health, food, and other people. It will include workshops on yoga, meditation, plant based cooking, and deliberate living. The immersion will feature speakers, opportunities for hands-on learning, community building, and skill sharing. Most of all though, it means leaving more connected to yourself and others, revitalized and ready to spread the revolution. Even if you are not a millennial, I encourage you to listen to this episode since Emma, Greg, and Izzy explore important questions for everyone to reflect on in regards to living a fulfilled life. Revolution Why will be held on October 9-12, 2015 at the Riverside Project, a beautiful 80 acre property on the banks of the Shenandoah River in Charles Town, West Virginia (90 minutes outside of Washington, DC).
