Summary

This month on the High Performance Circle we speak to the incredible Brian Pennie. On October 8 2013, Brian experienced his first day clean after 15 years of chronic heroin addiction. Since embracing his second chance at life, he has become a doctor of neuroscience and psychology.

Whether it's our career, our relationships, our health, or more global concerns, we all face challenges in life. However, this is not where our struggles lie. Our struggles lie in our reaction to these challenges, and our illusion that we can control them.

Through personal anecdotes, science, and wisdom from Eastern philosophy, Brian’s Keynote will focus on how to accept what you cannot control and create space in difficult times.
