084: My Top 3 Books on Habits & Biggest Insights for Personal Change with Zach White | World’s Best Lifestyle Engineer

In this episode, meet Lion Goodman, a leader whose near-death experience kick-started five decades of research into the nature of consciousness, developmental psychology, spirituality and healing.

At the age of 26, Lion was shot in the head four times.

He survived.

He has since created the Clear Beliefs Method of trauma-informed therapeutic coaching, which he has taught to more than 500 coaches, healers and therapists around the world.

This powerful practice can eliminate a client’s limiting or negative belief from their subconscious mind, heal a childhood wound, or resolve a trauma from the past in a single session.

You will take away more than a great story from this conversation.

This is an actionable understanding of beliefs and the mind which can change your life forever if you’ll do the work.

So press play and let’s chat… because OH MY GOODNESS he got shot four times!
