Our Guarantee – If you for any reason find being a member isn’t a match for you, you can cancel anytime with 2 clicks of a button, no questions asked. That’s it!

Is this for you?

This might be FANTASTIC for you if:

  • You want to find a way to not only survive these turbulent times but use it for creating, innovating and taking things to the next stage.
  • You want to focus on what’s possible and what you’re here to do.
  • You’re into discovering what you’re capable of – your talents, abilities, creativity.
  • You have a sense of mission, wanting to make a difference in some way.
  • You’d love help turning your passion and ideas into something real.
  • You want to not only talk about things but be in action that produces tangible results that matter.
  • You like the idea of connecting with others with a common vision of bringing our passions to life.
  • You want to thrive doing what you love.

This might NOT be a match if:

  • You’re more or less ok with how things are and not looking for any changes.
  • You’re interested in pursuing your interests some day, but right now simply isn’t the right time.
  • You’re in a place where you currently have to solely focus on survival issues, getting by day-to-day.
  • Looking at things with a fresh perspective is nice but not of real interest for you.
  • Being part of a community isn’t something you’re into and prefer doing things on your own.
  • You are convinced that you just don’t have the time, energy, or wherewithal to create anything new in your life.
  • There’s absolutely no way you can set aside $1 a day towards your dream (if so, read the FAQ’s below).

Frequently asked questions

Sounds really interesting, but I'm not 100% clear what this is about

I know. It’s a unique offering that you don’t come across everyday.

Truth: Within you lives the ability and capacity to bring your ideas, creations, and passion to full fruition. It’s there, to be sure.

This opportunity is about tapping into the power, experience, and creativity of the community of those on a similar path. I act as catalyst and guide. And the other elements including the Coach on Demand App, the various Wave Tools to freeing the mind and finding the flow, the Ugenie Gallery to share with others, and more … are all supplements to the process.

Take your time and let it sink in.

Then, I encourage you to…

Take the leap! Check out the experience for 1 month, and if it’s not for you, cancel with 2 clicks, and you’re set! And if you are one of the first 20 founding members, you’ll still have received 2 private coaching sessions with practical insights and next steps to take with you into the future.

If you really need to get a better idea of what this is about and how it could actually make a difference in your life, feel free to reach out and send me a message with any questions you may have. Better yet, schedule a time to connect through Zoom so you can share where you’re at, what you’d like to see happen, and what might be getting in the way.

Why would I want to join the BETA membership?

As a founding member, you’ll have several perks including:

  • Extra bonuses that other members do not receive
  • Help create the membership experience that you desire by:
    • Previewing existing content before others join.
    • Providing feedback on creating our signature content. Each week, you will be able to evaluate the content and topics based on what you need and want.
  • Surprises along the way!

And … most importantly, it’s your chance to get your shite happening NOW not later!

Do you have a program to help cover the cost of the membership?

I want anyone to be able to join no matter what their budget concerns may be, so…

When you join Untapped Genius, you automatically are added as a “Spread the Word” affiliate so that you can begin earning money by simply getting the word out.

It’s a win-win!

The 2-tiered Untapped Genius Promotion Program

If someone you know joins the Silver Membership ($30/month):

  • Level 1: you’ll get 30% commission ($10) every month per person.
  • Level 2: You’ll ALSO get 50% commission ($15) every month for friends of friends who join.

If someone you know joins the Gold VIP Membership where they get 2 private coaching sessions a month ($250/month):

  • Level 1: you’ll get 30% commission ($75) every month per person.
  • Level 2: You’ll ALSO get 10% commission ($25) every month for friends of friends who join.

So, yes, if you really want to join, and you’re concerned with the $30 per month investment, you now have a way to essentially pay for your membership and then some by simply sharing what this is about with your people!

I'm an artist (musician, creative) struggling with earning a living...can I benefit from what you offer?

Absolutely! The program is designed with creatives of all stripes in mind. Living gig-to-gig, project-to-project is a tough way to do things, yet the most common way of getting your creations out into the world and making a living.

There are other ways that can utterly change the game at play, including creating community-based membership experiences with a common passion or vision (like this one!). It’s a game changer for sure. We can show you the steps.

I'm not sure what my passion is and how to figure out what it is...

Absolutely no worries! That’s one of the things we love to do … point the way to discovering what that is and turning it into something amazing.

The membership is for anyone with a sense of mission at any level of discovery.

I'm already pursuing my passion but am struggling and not sure what to do next...

Part of the entrepreneurial journey is learning how to deal with things like uncertainty, disappointing results, unexpected challenges, and a slew of other things that can hinder the realization of what you’re after.

It’s normal and part of the game.

The key is to find ways to re-invigorate your passion and why you’re doing this in the first place and then to do the next thing in front of you.

Part of the process is reaching out and getting help from others.

We can help you navigate the uncertain waters of your adventure. That’s what this is all about.

I'm living my passion to the fullest and want to get to the next level...

Part of the thrill of pursuing your passion is that it is an ever-expanding entity that never ends.

We can absolutely help you up-level what you’re up to by helping you get clear on what’s possible, squash any limiting thoughts or assumptions that may be in the way, and how to leverage what you have to create massive impact.

Can what you offer help me develop my talents?

America’s Got Talent is the world’s biggest showcase for the vast array of talents, passions, and interests that exist.

If your everything is all about fully developing your talent, what we offer here is a unique and powerful approach to help you move toward mastery in what you love and are here to do!

Is this something that kids & young adults can benefit from?

Absolutely! I’ve run a program for several years called Untapped Genius for Young Minds where it’s all about helping them get clear on their passion and turning it into something productive. It’s also about creating an empowering mindset to deal with the challenges of life and creating a life they love!

Joining Untapped Genius will help them tap into the power of community and get all the support and encouragement they could ever need to spark life into what they are here to do!

They are literally our future. We need them and their built-in potential, passion, and energy unleashed into the world like never before.

You mentioned a wide variety of topics we'll be exploring...

Yes. Our live meetings, courses, and discussion topics will explore a vast array of topics that come into play on the entrepreneurial path.

And at the same time, we want to be sensitive to the potential of being overwhelmed with all that can be covered, so don’t worry, in the spirit of discovery, we’ll keep it simple, to the point, and have FUN with it all so that you can enjoy the entrepreneurial ride, bumps and all!

What's this Life as a Wave approach you've come up with?

Ah yes! This is my everything that I’ve dedicated my entire life to developing and sharing with others.

It is unlike anything I’ve seen out there, all great stuff but after more than 300 books, courses, and seminars on different topics, approaches, philosophies … in the end, I was still stuck.

So I wiped the slate clean and began at the beginning of what is this thing called life and what does it want? And from this 1 question emerged the most profound, simple, elegant framework that would finally help unleash my inner amazing!

And the idea of sharing with others who struggle as well with getting their thing fully happening is beyond thrilling and is the juice of the what and why of what I do!

Why are you doing this?

Discovering what you actually have within you, living your passion for real – these are the things that envelope my every day moments … it’s my everything!

So the thought of being in a position to share what I’ve discovered as a fellow-traveler of one’s pursuits, I can’t imagine a more exciting thing to devote my life to and share with the world!

it's not the first time I've taken a course or joined something like this... how's this different?

Me too! The number of attempts to get it all happening is astounding – the myriad courses, workshops, memberships, and business-building trainings I’ve been part of (and honestly enjoyed), in the end, didn’t produce the results I was looking for.

So how’s this going to be different, the thing that actually produces results?

While I can’t promise results in your case, since I don’t know who you are and what you’re ready to do to allow it to happen, what I CAN say is that we are providing everything you could ever need to increase the chance to near certainty of it happening for you, with the caveat that you give it your everything! Like as if it’s a done deal.

The idea of connecting with a community sounds great, but can I get 1-1 help too?

The power of community and the synergy that happens when you bring hearts, souls, and minds together with an overall common vision goes beyond anything that one single individual can muster.

At the same time, when you bring together community and 1-to-1 help, you’ve got an extra powerful combination.

So yes! To address your particular mission at play, if you are open to signing up for the Gold VIP membership while there are spots available (20 max), you’ll get private coaching with me twice a month for an incredible discount. You can also message me to explore other options for personalized assistance.

What's HOT SEAT coaching?

It is a surprisingly powerful way to be supported, whether you raise your hand for impromptu coaching during one of our calls or you simply listen and take in what another is being coached on (things that you may very well be facing yourself!).

It has to be experienced to know what this truly means!

Do I have to be there for every live virtual meeting?

Absolutely not! We all have different schedules, time zones, and availability, so you can show up when you want and for however long you can. All sessions will be recorded and available within your member’s page. But don’t be surprised if some go on for hours … if people are showing up, and we’re having fun and getting things done, we’ll keep going ’til we drop!

I'm not looking for a guru or a bunch of hype promising the world...

Oh boy do I get it! I have to admit I’ve fallen prey to the guru with the magic formula that, in the end, was a bunch of hooey or over-simplified crap that works for only the rare few!

So … is Untapped Genius and my approach, Life as a Wave, any different from what’s already out there?

You bet! And in so many ways … primarily by providing tangible, measurable, and reliable principles to getting things moving that are based in physics … that you can feel and touch in the moment.

And then grounding everything with tangible actions leading to real results.

What kind of things are we going to be doing?

That’s the fun of it all! The spirit of what the adventure entails is infused with knowledge, experience, insight, and hard-core tangible results along the way….

The possibilities of what we’ll be doing together is limited only by one’s imagination.

I’m Carl. And I know what it can be like…

After decades and hundreds of hours dedicated to my passions and getting blocked every step of the way, I ended up developing a new approach to freeing the mind based on my experience as an engineer and musician. It has worked wonders to break through my lifelong blocks and open the door for me to live my fullest life.

My own struggles began in my early teens, driven primarily by stubborn cognitive issues like ADD and dyslexia (story in detail below) and dealing with health challenges like when I ended up in a wheelchair with 8 broken ribs and a shattered hip.

I tried everything in my power to overcome in spite of it all – reading over 300 books, taking countless seminars, and so much more, only to remain stuck and frustrated.

The beautiful twist is that at my darkest hour, I discovered a breakthrough

My #1 struggle, its devastating impact, and how it lead to what you see before you...

I’ve described it in many ways

ADD, Dyslexia, poor memory, lack of focus, fuzzy thinking, feeling out of it, stuttering, stammering, glitching out, and on and on.

But that wasn’t the worst of it.

I call it my “flow glitch,” a Tourette’s-Syndrome-like flinch in my muscles that had a devastating impact on my #1 passion for decades – the dream of performing as a Jazz-Rock guitarist on the world’s stages. I attended three different music academies and practiced day and night. But for some reason, I would make a hundred tiny mistakes – the simpler the song, the more mistakes. The harder I tried, the worse I’d play. Talk about a conundrum to say the least!

It affected every facet of my life:

  • Feeling awkward and anxious when socializing, especially in groups, always 1 or 2 beats behind everyone else.
  • Dancing and feeling stiff and self-conscious.
  • Singing off-key and not remembering lyrics.
  • Going blank with paralyzing stage fright when about to perform on any level.

Put it all together, and I couldn’t help but believe there was something seriously wrong with me and that I was different than anyone else.

I tried everything in my power to fix things – reading hundreds of books, taking seminars, trying Nootropics (brain supplements), seeing doctors, therapists – nothing changed.

So, I ended up “turning down the volume” and basically hid in my cave. For years.

And during this time, I experienced the costs of a muted life – addictions, hitting bottom, hopelessness, what it is to be without home, to contemplate and act on ending it all.

And yet… 

I know sweet victories in spite of it all and feel more alive and excited than ever, because…

I fixed it! I solved the problem by wiping the slate clean and starting over… beginning with a simple question…

“What does life itself want”? My answer:

Life wants ONE thing – to move, grow, and expand, and EVERYTHING comes from this singular thrust of life! This simple idea would change everything.

With MOVEMENT as the central theme, I added principles of music, nature, and simple physics I had learned in electrical engineering, and voila, the “holy grail” of all personal growth approaches that freed me of my cognitive glitches and also opened the doors to higher abilities, creativity, and flow that we ALL CAN ACCESS.

I call my approach Life as a Wave.™

And it’s based on a fundamentally SIMPLE game at play: I am either being a “conduit” for the movement OR I’m getting in the way of it! Period. End of story.

The #1 culprit to moving forward in our lives is what I call the Slippery Mind which is the part that judges, labels, and creates “stories” that in the end, blocks the movement. 

Free up the mind, and movement happens. It’s physics.

The most incredible thing about making it all about movement … is that I can get real-time feedback using things based on rhythm like my #1 teacher …

My drum!! If you know what to look for, drumming and other activities can show you second-by-second if you’re “being the conduit” or not … in ANY area of your life!

 

20 years later…

Living “life as a wave,” I now know “heaven on earth.”

Applying Life as a Wave to every area of my life, I can now:

  • Sing on key, harmonize, and improvise in the moment with songs I’ve never heard before!
  • Dance in flow, my body surprising me at what it can express.
  • Play tennis better than when I trained daily as a teenager.
  • Talk with flow and ease under nearly any condition (including doing over 1,200 days in a row of Facebook LIVES … something once beyond impossible and now effortless).
  • Connect with others – social anxiety and self-consciousness now replaced with comfort and ease.
  • Feel the true ecstasy of witnessing what I’m truly capable of, like expressing myself freely in so many ways.
  • Enjoy the thrill of seeing my ideas and life’s work come to full fruition (what is before you now!) and impacting the world.
  • Having more passion and sense of purpose than ever.

And best of all, I can now help others free themselves from what gets in the way from doing their thing to the fullest…

Today…

As a peak performance mindset coach, applying my signature methodology called Life as a Wave,™ I am a catalyst for countless people to free their minds and live their adventure. I’ve been doing it for nearly 25 years now, with folks from all walks of life and all ages.

I would love to help you bring forth what you have within you and share it with a world that truly needs it.

What others say…

I’ve had the opportunity to support a wide variety of passion-infused people in this world – filmmakers, entrepreneurs, coaches, teachers, young adults, and on … what an honor! :-)
