My Story

About a decade ago I realized I was a drug addict and an alcoholic. In terms of my career, I had had a successful one. After graduating from Columbia University at the age of 21 I founded my first company, an e-commerce site for college students. Three years later I started the online division of a leading Italian motorcycle company (Ducati) and led a team that sold the first motorcycle on the Internet and generated $70MM in less than 2 years (making us the 7th highest grossing e-commerce site in Europe.) And now at age 30 I was an early pioneer in search engine optimization and had raised $5MM from venture capital funds and investors for what became one of the largest financial services lead generation networks online.

But despite my professional success it was never enough. I was never enough. I lived in a world of comparing myself to others. Of working long hours and constantly living in some form of stress, anxiety or overwhelm. The only relief I’d experience was when I was high, or drunk, or ironically . . .working.
In 2009, at age 33, I realized my life had become unmanageable and I started working a 12-step program. The 12 Steps gave me a set of tools and a framework that helped me reconnect with the parts of me that I lost along the way; my joy, creativity, inspiration, presence, connection . . . what I would describe as my personal power. It also gave me the opportunity to connect with a power greater than myself – a Higher Power.

Recovery helped me develop the skills I needed to be able to accept what I couldn’t control, and to change the things that I could. Most importantly it helped me develop a belief that I wasn’t alone. That somehow, within the mathematics of life itself, was an Intelligence that was working with me, for me, to support me, moment by moment in achieving my greatest evolution, my greatest prosperity, and in creating a life I love.

At about the same time I started working a 12-step program I had one of those “book” moments in an airport bookstore when a particular book, “Awakening the Buddha Within,” called out to me. I grabbed the book and read it cover to cover. I couldn’t put the book down. It was another framework, this time Buddhism, which provided a system by which I could live life, and transform the deeper, more subtle patterns of suffering that had been quietly growing in my unconscious mind for many years.

Through a series of synchronicities my library began to unfold book by book with answers to the questions I had at just the right moment, one by one. First Kingdom Principles, a book by Myles Munroe, which laid out a Christian-based framework for living life without suffering. Then Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, a Hindu-based framework for what I call living life powerfully. Then Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, a framework based on Hill’s interview of the most creative and successful people in the world, for living life not just devoid of suffering, but for creating powerfully. One by one I found these extraordinary frameworks for living and I began to see patterns and pieces of what would ultimately create a picture of a new, powerful identity and reality for myself.

Years later, I’ve embraced my new addiction: Personal Evolution.

I’ve studied many of the major teachings and topics spanning over 3,000 years and across science, philosophy, religion, spirituality, metaphysics, quantum physics and neuroscience. I’ve had dozens of mentors, sponsors, coaches, therapists and teachers. I’ve developed a regular practice of meditation, visualization, gratitude, emotional releasing techniques and transformative personal practices that allow me to wake up each day knowing who I am, and how to live life powerfully and creatively. And as I began to live each and every day, more and more free from the habitual patterns of thinking that were keeping me trapped, something even more magical happened . . . .

I discovered the ultimate transformational framework. One so simple, and so powerful, that it is reshaping the personal development industry. It has helped thousands of people permanently free themselves from the negative bias of the mind, and connect even more directly to the infinite reservoir of creativity, vitality, energy and intelligence that each and every one of us is connected to. It has radically transformed tens of thousands of businesses, and families, and communities and lives. It combines spiritual, philosophical, psychological and scientific concepts into a step by step process for literally rewiring your brain, and evolving into the next level of human being . . .what I call a Phenomenon.
And it is available to each and every one of us.

There are no exceptions. We are all powerful creators, made in the image of the creative power and Intelligence of the Universe itself, and it is time now to start believing and, more importantly, living it. I hope you’ll join me on this extraordinary journey.

Live Powerfully, David Bayer
