Today I am especially excited to bring on our special guest, Ed Mylett.
This week may be the most excited I’ve ever been to have a conversation and to share it with you, the 18Strong Community. If you have never heard of Ed Mylett, you are in for a treat and a master class on success today.
Just to give you some context, Ed is a peak performance coach to some of the top athletes in the world, and when I say the TOP, I mean that literally. Many of his clients are THE pinnacle athlete in their sport, including Super Bowl Champs, World Champion Boxers, Major-winning golfers and more.
Ed is also the host of the Ed Mylett Show, one of the most popular podcasts across all of iTunes, and number one in the business and coaching categories. His success in the financial sector has led him to a net worth of nearly a half a billion dollars, and he is one of the top growing social media icons in this space (garnering millions of followers in just 18 months).
In this episode, Ed breaks down some of the lessons he teaches as a peak performance coach, the keys to building confidence, why fitness is such a big part of that confident mentality, and how you can MAXOUT your life and your game by simply implementing some of these success lessons.
Ed Mylett’s Background
- Ed Mylett grew up in Diamond Bar, CA. as the only boy in the family with three younger sisters. His father was his first example of what it takes to succeed in life.
- Ed decided from a very young age that since he would have to work in life, he might as well work for himself and call his own shots. He realized right away that he was not going to spend his life working for someone else and building his or her dreams.
- His wife Kristianna, who had been his sweetheart since they were teenagers, shared that same vision of life. Her father was an engineer who worked hard so her mother could stay home with her six children.
- Mylett graduated from high school in Diamond Bar, California and attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. As a university student, Mylett balanced his studies in Communications with playing baseball for the NCAA Division 1 Pacific Tigers. He graduated from Pacific as a three-time All-American and the NCAA leader in stolen bases.
- After graduating from college, he worked as a youth counselor for underprivileged boys.
- Ed joined World Financial Group (WFG) in 1992. Because of his outstanding ability to inspire leaders, Ed Mylett quickly advanced at WFG, becoming one of the company’s youngest CEO Marketing Directors in only a few years. After he achieved the top level of a Senior Executive Vice Chairman and then joined the WFG leadership team as a Chairman’s Council member and as the Director of Field Leadership at WFG.
- In 2016, Mylett founded ED MYLETT SHOW, a Management Consulting Showbiz company located in Laguna Beach, California.
- Mylett has been a business leader, peak performance expert, and a well-known keynote speaker in the business world. He coaches and mentors people in the business field. He has shared the stage and has very close personal relationships with other business legends such as Tony Robbins, John C. Maxwell, Phil Knight, and many others. In 2018, published the book #MAXOUT Your Life, A book on strategies for becoming an elite performer.
