Short testimonial interview in which client Rick Braig (originally from Vancouver, based in Australia ~30 years) describes discovering Dave Parry via a Facebook ad, joining Dave’s Bulletproof Wealth coaching, and — within seven weeks — leaving full-time employment with a payout that enables him to build an online nutrition/physiology coaching business. Rick emphasizes the shift from obligation to motivated momentum driven by accountability, strongly recommends Dave’s free masterclass and 20-minute personal call, and expresses gratitude, concluding that he now “owns [his] own life.”

Dave Perry doesn't just teach you how to spend your money, he teaches you how to spend your life.
Who are, who's Rick and what do you do?
Rick Braig. I'm originally from Vancouver, Canada. Being in Australia now for about coming up close to 30 years and my background is in nutrition, physiology and with the help of a very good friend of mine, Dave Perry, I'm actually stepping into doing that as a business full time now.
How did you find out about me and the whole bulletproof wealth, the coaching, how did you find out about me?
I saw an ad on Facebook and I don't usually pay attention to a lot of them because a lot of them you get promises and then you go do a search and you find out that it's bogus. And the whole bit, something about the ad made me play it and when I listened through it, it was just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So many points were hitting home. Point after point after point. It just spoke to me and I reached out and then you and I had a personal call which impressed me by the way that I was talking with the Dave Perry on a first call right off the bat and just we seemed to click and you seemed to be saying the things that exactly what I was looking for and just, yeah, that's how it all started.
What was going on for the time and what I guess caused you to book a call with me?
I'm 62 and currently I don't have enough finances for me to ever consider not working. Even though now I'm not working for anybody anymore in that short a time. And I just, with the other coaching, it was a lot to do with your typical life coaching or mindset or where you want to go in life, so on and so forth. Whereas I felt I needed somebody that specifically got into the financial side of things because if it's left up to me, that's going to go a disaster. I'm blown away that seven weeks later it's actually manifested that I was able to leave my full time work, get a payout that's going to allow me now to focus on building a business. And as I've said to you several times, that's both scary and exciting.
So what changes, I guess have you noticed or what changes have been implemented since we've been working together?
Well, the big one, I'm no longer a full time employee. I don't work for anybody anymore and I plan to never be in that situation again. You asked me a question, you said, what do you think of when you think of doing that. And I said, it's a lot of hard work. And then you said, what do you think of when you think of taking your nutrition physiology coaching online? I said, I gotta work hard. He said, interesting. Same words, different meaning. And that's created the motivation. Just, I'm working hard because I want to. You know, it's starting to become that when you love what you're doing, it's never a job. Twenty years ago, almost to the day, I was in exactly the same situation. I didn't have a coach then and I was determined that I had to get a whole bunch of other stuff out of the way first so I could concentrate my time on it. And guess what happens? That stuff never goes away. Because as soon as you get one thing done, another one comes up. Whereas now there's a structure around what I'm doing and I'm being held accountable. And that momentum, because I'm accountable to a structure, that momentum creates motivation, which creates momentum, which creates motivation.
Would you recommend, you know, would you recommend coaching, you know, with me potentially to friends and family?
Definitely. I've already been telling some friends, I've already said when I left work that I've said, I highly recommend this guy. I only had a friend earlier today say, had that I hadn't spoke to for a couple weeks, just looked at me and went, what's changed with you? Wasn't even aware of my situation. What's changed with you? And they could obviously tell that physically. So, and I attribute that directly to yourself.
What would you say to others that might be sitting on the fence or wondering about, you know, whether having a call with me or starting some coaching.
Programs, doing the 20 minute masterclass, having the personal call with you, neither of those first and foremost cost them any money. So I'd almost say you'd be an idiot. If you're on the fence wondering where to go with your life, you'd be an idiot to not least not take that step. If you do the masterclass and have the 20 minute call and Dave Perry doesn't ring with you, fine. Okay, you checked it off. And I would hazard a guess that you would probably, maybe even make a suggestion to somebody who's in that situation, where else they can look but for the changes that can occur in your life, for the point of living your life, if you don't at least take those two steps, you got nothing to lose. And you'd be an idiot if you didn't at least do that. I'm sorry for, you know, labeling but what do you got to lose?
But what are you most grateful for? For having started this process with me, this coaching.
I am so grateful to you personally that. For. For. For getting me on this path and. And making the difference. And I will state that the difference that has got me owning my own life now. And that's probably a better way to say I own my own life now.
