The Big Weekend...

Who are Seymour Segnit and Aaron Huey?

Aaron Huey and Seymour Segnit are friends of mine...

They are both transformational trainers and very good at what they do.

Below is a short video - less than two minutes. The guy doing the intro is Seymour and Aaron is the guy sitting on the wooden chair with the water in the background.

If you listen to Aaron in this video, you will hear something that is unmistakable:

He is authentic to the bone.

He is not putting on a show for the camera, I know Aaron. He is a Warrior - not just in the metaphoric sense, he is a real warrior. He is compassionate and he cares.

This is how Aaron is in real life and why what he does makes a difference.

Check out the video...

Both of these guys are the real deal.

I worked with Aaron on staff in 2006 at the Enlightened Warrior Training Camps in Beaumont California and I liked the work he did. He was a facilitator for one of the most challenging break-through processes. He was tough, but kind. He was effective but gentle. He was focused, yet compassionate. I learned to trust Aaron and I liked him immediately.

Aaron is tight with one of my best friends - Shane - who has worked with Aaron even more frequently than I have. Through their relationship, I have gotten to know Aaron better - vicariously - through the eyes and words of my close friend. One of the things I really admire about Aaron is the work he has done to help adolescent kids over the last few years in many of his camps.

Aaron is a man of his word. You can believe what he says. And if he says the stuff he is working on for the Big Weekend with Seymour is going deep within him and creating a lot of change, it is.

Seymour Segnit is a multi-talented trainer.

I met him originally in 2005 when we were on staff for Peak Potentials traveling around the country on the seminar logistics team. He was a trainer before I met him and I watched him continue to develop his skill until he became one of the best people on the team.

Seymour is a good man, a good husband and and good father. He is the kind of man who walks his talk and lives the values that inspire people to find the best in themselves. In the beginning, he and I banged heads a few times while we were all doing a lot personal growth and some very deep work.

The cool thing about that is that it is exactly how you really get to know who someone is. Conflict often creates depth in a relationship. Over eighteen intense months of sixteen to eighteen hour days traveling city to city - working together on high intensity self development seminars - we became pretty good friends.

More importantly, we grew to respect each other as we did the kind of soul wrenching work that people do when they are committed to personal growth. It is the kind of work where you don't hide - where you can't hide - who you are deep down inside if you really want results. It is like getting naked with yourself and not turning away ever again.

These two guys have done it all. They really have. I would say they have been relentless in their pursuit of excellence. They had the best mentors and teachers on the planet today. They know what you want, and better than that, they know what you need and how to get you there. They KNOW you have the stuff - the courage to do things you haven't even thought of yet, but wish you had.

Fortunately, Seymour and Aaron have thought of it. They know what you hope they know and that is exactly what THE BIG WEEKEND is ALL about.

Take it from me that if you are ready to make changes and create a better life for yourself, working with these guys is the best place to start. You have my word on it.

THE BIG WEEKEND is calling your name. You don't have to answer the call but you may wish you had.

I AM Blessings and Love,

Michael Barrett
