Max McCoy is a video producer, podcaster, and student of what it means to find and pursue your most authentic direction. After ending his college basketball career early, he went deep into the world of personal development and spirituality, looking for a path that strayed from what he considered to be “the norm” for most former athletes. Through the resurrection of his creativity, and a cultivation of faith in following his inner guidance, he became a sought after creative partner for some of the biggest names in personal development. He is now most passionate about helping others find and pursue their own sense of authentic direction.
