My "old" life was "ok", but I always suspected there might be more out there for me 

Then I got made redundant.... 

After the initial panic, I decided to use this as an opportunity to do what I'd never really done before: 
- find out what I actually wanted from life 
- get myself the support to help me 
- and CHANGE my life 
And I can honestly say I have never looked back! 

Now I want to support as many people as possible to live the life they love, now - however that looks for you at work, at home, and for life as a whole. 

There are various ways I can support you, including 1 to 1 or small group coaching
- Kickstart your change - a 4 week programme to get you taking empowered action 
- A little shot of confidence - a 4 week programme where you'll walk away knowing you are amazing! 
- Get your ideal role - a 4-6 week programme preparing you for your ideal role 
- CHANGE - a 3 month transformation programme taking you from where you are to loving your whole life 

I also run masterclasses, past subjects have included: confidence, creating change, managing conflict, working with different personality types 

I work with both individuals and organisations too, for more information DM me!  

I am passionate about equity - not just everyone having the same opportunities, but having flexibility around what we each need to be able to do our best at what we chose.

And I'm passionate about everyone living the life they love now - no more waiting - so if you're ready then reach out to me now!

The Redneck Connecktor | Helping Business Owners Land Premium Clients Without Cold DMs or Pitchy Networking | Building Trust-First Businesses in a Low-Trust World | Founder of the Hounds of Business Community

Most business owners don’t fail because they’re lazy or clueless.
They fail because, in a low-trust world, they’ve been 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒅.

Played by networking groups where everyone’s just waiting their turn to pitch.

Played by coaches who promise clients but never had to make payroll.

 Played by “systems” that feel sleazy and suck the joy out of business.

That was me once too, all heart, no clue. Until I discovered a better way:

𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝. 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐬𝐭.

Because when trust becomes your strategy, clients stop hesitating, partnerships start compounding, and business finally feels right again.

Now we help entrepreneurs, coaches, and business owners:

🐺 𝐂𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞 on LinkedIn & YouTube without playing algorithm games.
🐺 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 without cold DMs, funnels, or fake engagement tactics.
🐺 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬 & 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 that replace solo ad spend for good.

We do it through three layers:

 1️⃣ 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠- my 4 C’s framework (Clarity, Connections, Community, Conversion).
 2️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲- a vetted pack of professionals who actually care about each other’s success.
 3️⃣ 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦- visibility, partnerships, and introductions most people never get access to.

The Results

🐾 1 M+ views in 90 days
 🐾 Members going from ignored to inbound, stalled to booked, and “coffee chats” to clients
 🐾 Partnerships with Level Up Academy, Kindness Worldwide, Pantheon.FM, The Connector Community, and more

I’m not here to sell magic buttons.
I’m here to show you the game, the rules, and how to pick the 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮.

If you’re serious about growing your network & net worth without chasing, pitching, or selling your soul, we should talk.

Presented by the Hounds of Business Community on Mike King Biz Radio (ESPN RVA 106.1FM)

The holidays expose something most high performers never admit out loud:
When the world slows down… they often struggle the most.
That’s why Curtis Rivers is the perfect guest for this moment.

Curtis is an award-winning author, former Hollywood stuntman, peak-performance coach, and one of the most spiritually grounded high-achiever mentors working today. His clients call him “the reset button you don’t know you need.” His blend of emotional mastery, mental clarity, and practical performance psychology has transformed leaders, founders, creators, and executives across the globe.

As we close out the year, Curtis joins us to talk about what high performers really need during the holidays — not more hustle, not more goals, and definitely not more stress — but the right kind of reset that sets up a breakthrough year.

In This Conversation, Curtis Helps High Performers Learn How To:

1. Navigate holiday pressure with emotional intelligence
 So you avoid the self-sabotage loops, hidden expectations, and old emotional patterns that tend to surface this time of year.

2. Reset mentally and spiritually without losing momentum
 The secret to entering 2025 with clarity, calm, and a sharper edge — not burnout disguised as productivity.

3. Use reflection, simplicity, and presence to fuel next-level breakthroughs
 How to turn the quiet moments of the holidays into power multipliers that accelerate you into your best year yet.

Curtis will also share the mindset shifts, personal rituals, and inner practices he teaches elite performers, the same tools he used to rebuild his own life after decades of high-stakes stunt work and success pressure.

If you’re ready to stop dragging the weight of this year into the next…
If you want to make 2025 a year of aligned, unstoppable growth…
If you want a December that actually lifts you up instead of wearing you out…

This is your reset moment.
Tune in and rise.
