In today's conversation Judith Germain speaks to Corey Poirier about storytelling, manifestation, and finding one's passion and purpose. Corey discusses his unconventional path to success, including barely graduating high school, not reading his first book until age 27, and not being considered "most likely to succeed." He now works as a professional speaker and operates a company called Blue Talks that helps people build their positioning as experts in their field.

• Storytelling impacts subconscious beliefs by shaping our reality, but requires genuine belief and aligned actions
• Manifestation techniques may be more effective when framed as "beginning to believe" rather than stating absolutes
• Finding and pursuing one's passion is crucial for personal fulfillment and success, even if initially as a side pursuit

In this conversation Corey shares the key challenge of scaling Blue Talks while replacing himself as the central figure. He discusses the difficulties of managing rapid growth, hiring the right people, and maintaining quality control across multiple moving parts of the business.
