I just want you to imagine something. I want you to imagine a person coming home and telling his family that all his material assets have been wiped out and also owing the bank more than half a million dollars to top it all. He had two young children and a wife to support and had no option but to declare bankruptcy.

I am going to introduce you to one such individual who discovered Think and Grow Rich during one of the most difficult times in his life. Due to a failed business venture, he had lost his home, his savings, and was facing bankruptcy. By using the principles outlined in Think and Grow Rich he started from scratch and without any pull build a multi-million-dollar business again.

So, he bought the rights to teach Think and Grow Rich philosophy from the Napoleon Hill Foundation with a blank check. He now owns rights to several countries around the world to teach this timeless Science of Success that has impacted over 125 million people worldwide.

He believes that any human being can throw away the chains of limitations, poverty, and failure if one understands applies the core principles of Think and Grow Rich.

He has also been inducted as a chancellor of Success University by Junior Achievement and also been featured in Hollywood Movie called “THINK AND GROW RICH --- THE LEGACY”. The Napoleon Hill Foundation recently honored him with its prestigious Gold Medal award for his meritorious and entrepreneur achievement, a medal that is given every four years to one individual in the whole world. Previous recipients of this honor include such personalities as Ted Turner and Earl Nightingale This is considered equivalent to Nobel Prize in the personal development industry. Recently he was also honored as a keynote speaker at the University of Virginia in Wise County, the birthplace of Napoleon Hill.

He has been practicing Think and Grow Rich for over two decades. He will share his personal stories, business acumen, and insights from his years of experience in applying its philosophy of Think and Grow Rich, which will be very inspiring for all of us.

As the Founder and former CEO of an award-winning Canadian media company, Julian understands the importance of owning anxiety and nerves both professionally and personally. Julian moved back to Canada over 10 years ago after working in Silicon Valley and Florida for several years to be a part of, and contribute to what was then just a budding internet tech scene. He saw that there was no single online brand that was dedicated to inspiring driven millennials to live a notable life, so he created the Notable Awards and Notable.ca which today is Notable Life.

Shortly after launching Notable in 2008, Julian experienced severe anxiety for the first time and became determined to naturally deal with it. This led him on an ever expanding journey where he simultaneously managed and grew his former business while exploring empowering natural lifestyle changes like holistic health & wellness, self-care, spirituality, yoga, and positive psychology.

This path to higher consciousness became Julian’s way of living. And it is this very path that has connected all of us here today.

Over the years Julian has gone on to train and collaborate with Yogis from India, Rabbis and Priests in Jerusalem, top Medical Doctors in NYC, and some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world. Upon waking up to his mission to help people learn to help themselves own anxiety, he sold Notable to dedicate his life to the movement.

Today he helps people all over the world #OwnAnxiety by guiding them toward empowering, natural tools from his upcoming book combining medical research from the West and holistic philosophies from the East. These tools, which are the foundation of the Own Anxiety method lead to a redefined relationship with anxiety taking it from negative and debilitative to positive and facilitative. As an international keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, coach, teacher, and healer Julian aims to leave every person he connects with ready to not just own anxiety, but to holistically own themselves just a little bit more so that they can truly own their lives.
