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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

My Mindvalley Journey: February 2023 - April 2026 It started quietly. A few short courses. 3MIQ. 6-Phase Meditation. Be Extraordinary. Vishen's books on the nightstand. I wasn't looking for a breakthrough. I was a 34-year pipe organ builder with a company that worked, a life that functioned, and a persistent sense that…

Before taking the Speaking & Influence Mastery class, little did I know, I was preparing for one of the biggest milestones of my life- I was about to become an international best-selling author… but I wasn't doing it alone. I was leading 22 other women to become best-selling authors too, through a deeply personal…

I had a mission. What I didn't have was the courage to call myself an entrepreneur. Not long ago, I was an AI skeptic. Alarmed. Frustrated. Watching artificial intelligence upend everything I had come to know about work, leadership, and life. I had spent more than two decades building a distinguished career…

I almost didn't do it. I want to start there, because that's the honest part. Before I joined Entrepreneurial Mastery, I sat at my kitchen and stared at my numbers until they blurred. The math wasn't mathing. My credit limit was $3,000, and even that money already had somewhere to be. But something in me wouldn't let…

Voice of Impact: 5,012 Miles Outside My Comfort Zone "They say riding a bike is something you never forget… Lies. Absolute lies." I relearned that the hard way - in Amsterdam, 5,012 miles from home, flat on the ground with a bruised knee and a very confused Dutch man staring at me. It was my first solo trip out of the…

How Speak and Inspire Helped Me Find My Voice When I joined Speak and Inspire Mastery, I thought I was there to polish my professional skills. I wanted to feel more confident during my weekly BNI presentations and nail my 10-minute feature. But I also gained storytelling skills that helped me connect more deeply with…

My father passed away a few weeks ago. Although I had prepared a typed speech, I decided after 5 minutes to go with the way of speaking that Eric Edmeades had taught us in this class. I dropped my papers, took a deep breath, and looked out into the audience of friends and loved ones assembled for his funeral. And I…
