We had the good fortune of connecting with Quentin McCain and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Quentin, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
I believe that what we really need is a paradigm shift in this area. If we really think about it, balance means having every area of your life equally…balanced. When does that ever really happen? I would say never.

What would really benefit us to be more focused on is having harmony in the different areas of our work and life. Unlike balance where everything is fighting for equality, harmony is when the different areas of your life are working together harmoniously.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
What sets me apart from others is that instead of what most know as traditional life coaching or even talk therapy, I specialize in working with the subconscious mind. As people, 95% of what we do is run by the subconscious mind so this enables me to powerfully assist my clients in shifting unwanted habits, negative emotions, trauma, and limiting beliefs at the root so that we eliminate them rather than merely putting a band-aid on them.

What I am most proud of now is that I have built my business from the ground up through blood, sweat, and tears and can now say that I have personally been able to impact thousands of lives through coaching, speaking, workshops, and online trainings.

How I would say I got here today was through holding my dreams and vision of the impact and good I want to do in the world front of mind, persistence, relationships, faith, and massive action. It is definitely not easy at times but absolutely worth it! I overcome challenges by knowing that those things aforementioned are bigger than my fears which allows me to push forward with courage.

The biggest lesson I have learned is to take control of your thoughts and direct them towards what you really want or they will take control of you. Your eyes and your current environment will try to tell you that your dreams and goals are a fantasy that will never happen but it’s not about where you are currently, it’s about where you are going. Past results do not have to equal future results.

I want the world to know that despite plenty of confusion, stress, and negativity in the world, there are still people that care and want to see you do and achieve even more than sometimes you even imagine yourself doing. If a young boy from Phoenix running the streets with no direction can become a best selling Author, International Speaker, and Master mindset Coach, just imagine what you could do once you put your mind to it and have the right friends, coaches, supporters, and or mentors in your corner.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
There are so many fun and interesting things in the city so that could be difficult! Some things that come to mind are Top Golf, some great Mexican food at Bacanora, The Musical Instrument Museum, networking events to meet some of the best business people in the world, and the Art district in downtown phoenix just to name a few.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
There are so many shoutouts I could give to mentors, people in my corner, books, etv. But someone who comes front of mind immediately is my co-author and mom E. Marie Hall. She is not only a great mother who has encouraged and supported my journey from day one but also an outstanding coach, speaker, writer, and voice for those who have gone through emotional trauma.
