Stories from Kwame Christian’s students

I want to tell you what happened between those two sentences. Because somewhere inside this story is the reason you are reading it. Before Mindvalley. I was a founder with a burning conviction and no vocabulary for it. I knew - as a father, as a builder, as a human watching the world lose its ability to concentrate…

I had 17 years of experience. Turns out, some of it was the firm's. I walked into Entrepreneurship Mastery thinking I had a head start. Seventeen years at Goldman Sachs, Executive Director, four countries, two continents, three different functions. The last five years I was doing something that looked a lot like…

From Invisible to Unmesswithable: My Speaking & Influence Mastery Story I'm a two-time valedictorian from Liberia who skipped one graduation and attempted to skip the other. The reason? A stutter. The very thing I needed most-my voice-would abandon me at the worst moments. For 17 years, I had ideas. Manuscripts…

# From a YouTube Video to 244 KRs: My OKR Journey In 2023, I watched a YouTube video of Vishen explaining OKRs. Something clicked. I run Avana - a medical devices company in Chennai with 35 people. I had goals. I had spreadsheets. I had review meetings. But I didn't have *alignment*. I implemented OKRs the very next…

I came to Mindvalley because I wanted to improve my social media results for my fine jewelry brand, Lisa Robin Jewelry. What surprised me was that Mindvalley didn't just change my business-it reshaped who I am as a creator, as a leader, and as a woman preparing for the next chapter of her life. Social Media Mastery…

A year ago I didn't know what to write in my Mastery profile. I wrote: Mom. I have been a Mindvalley member since 2018. I love the "soul" and parenting content for personal development, working on myself to better support our kids. When I saw the Entrepreneurship Mastery Summit, my whole identity and creativity had…

Hero Story - From Silenced to Stage Before Speaking & Influence Mastery, I was already a senior RAF Wing Commander and published author… but I was still hiding in plain sight. I could brief, present, and "do PowerPoint", yet my true story... nine Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), breaking generational abuse…

In the midst of taking Speaking and Influence Mastery, I came very close to dying. Early September, I was celebrating the upcoming arrival of a new baby in our cul-de-sac. Days later, COVID hit. Then the rebound. Then pneumonia. But something still wasn't right; I kept getting worse. After two ER visits, I was finally…

For nearly 30 years, I have been an entrepreneur. I co-founded and built a large healthcare business across the United Kingdom into a successful £100 million-plus company. From the outside, I could clearly call myself a successful entrepreneur. Before Entrepreneurship Mastery, I was beginning to think about exit…

Before this program, with my MBA as a base, I was working hard; but I didn't have any good actual life stories from a CEO or Founder perspective to draw from for navigating all aspects of the business. And while I have led system implementation teams, I was completely reliant on technical people to do the work for me…

I just got out of a meeting with my finance person, and I'm honestly still shocked. After what I learned at Mindvalley U, I completely restructured my business. I basically cut our marketing spend by half - and we still grew. This month, we're up 300% in sales . I learned so much, and it was mostly from Vishen's talk…

Before this Mastery, I was a founder full of vision but stuck in the waiting room of my own company, waiting on developers, waiting on the "right moment," waiting on someone else to translate my ideas into product. I knew where I wanted to go; I just couldn't move at the speed of my own thinking. Then, thanks to Vishen…
