Small-T Versus Big-T Trauma Examples

What if the only thing standing between you and your absolute peak performance isn't effort, strategy, or even time... but untreated trauma? Are you ready to discover the "whole new gear" you didn't even know your business (and life!) was capable of? For this very first episode of the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series, I'm bringing back one of my absolute favorite interviews with Dr. Don Wood, which originally aired in March 2025.

He is a master soul doing beautiful work in the world, and you'll hear incredible stories and learn the unbelievable secret to clearing life-long trauma. In fact, it's the exact same process that immediately unlocks massive new levels of focus, success, and performance for my clients. If you've been searching for the elusive key to stepping into your maximum potential, this episode is it.

Dr. Wood will be joining me on the stage this year at BBD Live 2025 in December in Phoenix, Arizona and we are not doing one next year! I don't know when the next in-person one will be, which is why we wanted to pull out all the stops and make this the biggest and best ever, so if you want to see Dr. Wood and all of our other amazing speakers rock the stage and blow minds at BBD Live 2025, go to www.jameswedmore.com/tickets ASAP to see if tickets are still available)!
