This week’s episode of the Catalytic Leadership Podcast:

How to Build a Powerful Culture in One Evening, with Dave Albin

Is firewalking really that life changing of an experience?

What was it like working for Tony Robbins for 19+ years?

You have been clean of drugs and sober for 35 years; what happened that caused you to reach out for help?

In this week’s episode,​ William interviews Dave Albin, the #1 Firewalk Instructor in America. Having worked for Tony Robbins for 19+ years and starting Firewalk Productions in 2014 Dave has firewalked hundreds of thousands of people. He and Tony Robbins set a World Record in London in 2005 walking over 12,300 people. 
His success has a scary and violent past. On June 8th, 1988 he put a gun to his head to stop the excruciating pain from both drug and alcohol addiction. 2023 will mark 35 years of sobriety.  

Dave’s clients include Google, NASA, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Heineken, RE Max, Entrepreneurs Organization (EO), Chick-fil-A, CRISP Video, Mystery Hill, Y.M.C.A., Replace Your University, Tony Robbins, T Harv Eker, The 4-Seasons, The Omni Hotel, The Waldorf Astoria, Waikoloa Hotel, and MANY others.

1 Resource That You Might Find Helpful

Almost a year ago now, I launched the Catalytic Leadership Podcast. As with any new projects, I’ve learned a LOT and benefited from many people who hae shared tips and suggestions with me. My goal is to continue growing, continue learning, and continue developing a resource that will serve leaders no matter where they are in their journey or where they lead. 

Since the beginning, I’ve used Buzzsprout​ for hosting and listing the show on Apple, Spotify, etc. I’ve been incredibly pleased with their service and a rock-solid product. If you’re interested in hosting a podcast, I can’t recommend them enough – check them out here​.
