Joel S Levinson

Joel S. Levinson knows what it is like to walk to the abyss, get sucked in, make excuses, stare his future self in the eye and pull himself back out. He has experienced wild success as a five-time serial entrepreneur achieving multi-millions in revenue and has been President of multiple $100M business units in the Fortune 500 and partner in multiple small business entities. Yet he also is intimately familiar with failure - almost losing himself, his financial freedom, and even his connection to family and friends. Today he applies his expertise and energy to create a movement for ambitious men and women to have a meaningful and fulfilling life beyond their comfort zone. Having been nearly crushed by life's responsibilities - financial bankruptcy, family tragedies, and health concerns - his zest for learning, acceptance of change, and positive outlook are the keys to his success. He leverages his talents, acquired knowledge, and hard-earned wisdom to help others avoid the pitfalls that nearly did him in. His techniques and skills help those who want more out of life step out of the rat race that prevents real success and join their inner being with their outer doing to reach their dreams. Author of three books, "Miss You: A Gift from mom", "Defenders of SMASH: A Martial Arts Adventure Story", and The parody self-help book on Excuses, "Bulls**t Brilliance: The #1 Undisputed Source For Creating Awesome Crap For Getting Yourself Out Of Trouble". Co-author of the book “Live The Risk: Escape your excuses and enjoy life,” Co-host of the now-retired “Live The Risk presents Walking With Warriors” podcast, the soon-to-be-released limited you tube release. "Uncommon Sense,” and the co-creator of the Live The Risk company, he is a consummate catalyst for generating actions that accelerate positive results in his clients’ lives. Joel is humbled to be the dad of two beautiful daughters, Jaime and Sarah. And he is blessed beyond belief for the 36 years (and counting!) of marriage with his bride, Jackie. His family is his life.
