Teens & Adults

The Ultimate Student Journey is 12 months long.  I have adjusted the requirements to fit the age group and more detail on the requirements are available just by asking.
Why would a teen or adult be interested in a journey like this?

This is leadership training at its very best. Experiential.

  • Your focus, confidence and leadership skills will improve.
  • You will train your body, mind, and spirit like never before.
  • You will get to hang out with people who want to live life at a level 10
  • You will have an impact on your family (in a good way)
  • You will have FUN.  Maybe you will become a film maker!
  • You will become known in the community as an Action Hero
  • You will meet others across the nation who are working on the similar goals.
  • You will be helping Mr. Joe complete his test.
  • You may get to do one thing you always wanted to try!!

Please look at what you will be doing in the requirement section.  Do not be overwhelmed!  Parents & Adults – Do not be overwhelmed!  This will prove to be the best year of their/your life as they focus on improving themselves they will have a great year of fun.  I will be there along with Tom Callos to encourage them and they will have a whole team doing the same.

You can  learn more by sending me an email.  Don’t Wait.  Now is the time to act!
