I first met Kristoffer "KC" Carter at Camp GLP, a weekend long adult camp, founded by the fantastic <a href="https://www.jonathanfields.com">Jonathan Fields</a>.  It was an incredible weekend of yoga and fitness, creative and career workshops, insightful speakers, and also... just a shit ton of fun! And keeping the container for all of this to occur was this incredibly energetic and engaging guy, and I couldn't stop thinking "I not only want whatever that guy's got, but also DO what he DOES!"  Well it turns out, what KC has "got", and what he "does", are a lot of things.  A yogi and meditation teacher, musician, mentor, and family man,  he manages to bridge the worlds of spirituality and business in fun and inventive ways.  As a corporate coach, his company  <a href="https://www.thisepiclife.com">This Epic Life</a>  offers executives the tools to live as fully and exceptionally as possible, and his new book, <a href="https://www.thisepiclife.com/book/">"Permission to Glow: A spiritual guide to epic leadership"</a>,  invites us all to courageously do the same. KC is someone I admire in his ability to bring all parts of himself, to everything he does. And he does it all while embracing his light (and his dark), in a continuous quest, maybe the noblest and highest quest for us all:  A life of integrity, integration, and inspiration.  I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. Inward and Upward,Christian Correa<a href="https://www.instagram.com/connectingwithchristian/">@connectingwithchristian</a>

THE QUEEN OF COMMUNITY with Nefertiti Hathaway

Whether it's his highly successful <a href="https://www.beauridgephotography.com">Photography Business</a>, the mentoring program <a href="https://theartofsixfigures.com">"The Art Of Six Figures"</a>, that he cofounded,  or his lifelong love of martial arts, Beau Ridge does everything with a commitment, courage, and candor that is truly inspiring.   Things like "discipline" and "Integrity" aren't just buzzwords for him, they're actually the foundation on which his success lies. He believes there's no "magic formula" to doing well, but merely a few tried and true principles and practices that can be used across our lives, our communities, and companies, to a build stronger, more successful society.
