Dave Albin is the #1 Firewalk Instructor in America, and he has worked with Tony Robbins for almost 20 years, as his Firewalk captain. His success had a scary and violent path, though: He had a challenging childhood, with adoption, drinking, and hard drugs from his early teenage years, reaching a point in 1988 when he put a gun to his head. He has firewalked hundreds of thousands of people, and he and Tony Robbins set a World Record in London in 2005 walking over 12,000 people.

 

In this powerful episode, I share the incredible transformational journey of Dave Albin, America's number one fire walk instructor, who has worked with Tony Robbins for almost twenty years. Dave's story begins with a challenging childhood, adoption, and early involvement with drinking and hard drugs, culminating in a harrowing moment in 1988 when he put a gun to his head. Dave's journey toward personal growth and development began after seeking help through Alcoholics Anonymous, where he embraced sobriety one day at a time. 

 

We delve into how Tony Robbins' Personal Power program served as a catalyst for Dave's personal development journey, and discuss the unique aspects of firewalking that make it such a powerful tool for overcoming fears and fostering personal growth. We also explore the rich history of firewalking and its significance across various cultures around the world, as well as how firewalking is used in corporate settings to resolve tensions and promote unity among team members.
