Sid McNairy Interview with Justine Reiss

Join me as I speak with Sid McNairy about his incredible journey, working with everyone from football teams to motivational speakers - using alternate methods of empowerment.
 
Sid McNairy, the Architect of the Art of Peaceful Living, is a spiritualist and teacher who helps people connect with their highest and best selves through disciplines such as meditation, yoga, and self-discovery. With a background in coaching college football and coaching NFL players, Sid’s journey through life has involved battles both physically and mentally.
 
Sid came to one of my group coachings and we instantly saw a connection to empowering people with the confidence that comes from the skills used in voice-over.
 
We discuss the power of learning to use your voice in confidence and how it can be a game changer to create content, narrate your book, and bring your message forward in a podcast or social media post.
