Today I sat down with Alan Howard, Founder, The Path. Alan is a powerful and transformative coach who has an uncanny ability to cut through the bullshit and facade to see a man at his core. Before coaching, Alan built and sold two businesses, travelled the world for 6 years, and embarked on many adventures to deepen his self-understanding; living with an indigenous tribe, travelling to 20+ countries, and opting to live in a pitch dark room for several days to meet himself.
