    From Discipline to Discovery: Alan Kobitz on Coaching, Identity, and Creating Your Ideal Life
    Dec 22 2025
    📝 PODCAST DESCRIPTION

    In this episode of Change Your Mindset, Change Your Body, Gordon sits down with Alan Kobitz, founder of Elevations Unlimited, a veteran coach with over 26 years of experience helping individuals and leaders design lives that actually align with who they are.

    Alan shares why he was coaching people before coaching was a buzzword, how leadership development evolved into modern coaching, and why his approach is fundamentally different from most coaches today. Instead of handing people a blueprint, Alan helps individuals discover their own path—mentally, physically, spiritually, and professionally.

    The conversation dives deep into resilience, including Alan's powerful story of surviving a rare femur tumor, rebuilding his body from near immobility, and returning to competitive sports against medical advice. The discussion expands into discipline, identity, belief systems, and why clarity—not motivation—is the real driver of transformation.

    Alan also breaks down the timeless wisdom of The Four Agreements, explores spiritual philosophy, and explains why true fulfillment comes from alignment, not external validation.

    This episode is a masterclass in human behavior, discipline, self-awareness, and intentional living.
