#1 Fat Loss Coach & Expert for Men 🔥|| I help busy professionals torch fat, build muscle and create an abundance of energy to increase productivity 💯 || Results GUARANTEED or double your money back🤝

If you’re a busy exec who also happens to be a father looking to lose weight, increase your energy and achieve optimal health, I can help. 

After coaching hundreds of hard-working fathers around the world, I know a thing or two about what you need to get in the best shape of your life. 

But let’s rewind a little… 📽️

7-years ago I found myself out of shape, low on energy, and far from feeling my best. 

Stuck in a rut I just couldn’t seem to escape.

I was on a rocky path to depression and ill-health.

I lacked the structure, guidance, and accountability to be one of those guys who walks around in great shape and exerts confidence everywhere they go. 

I felt like I was letting myself down.

And then everything changed…

I decided to change. 

I hired a coach, learned every piece of the puzzle there was to getting in great shape, and got to work.

The results were amazing. 

I felt on top of my game, productive, energetic, and a great role-model to those around me. 

I developed healthy habits, fantastic routines and steel-like discipline that most men crave in the modern world. 

Everywhere I went people greeted me with a smile and wanted to be my friend.

Since then I’ve gone on to help over 150 hard-working and busy guys just like you to shred fat, build muscle and optimise their health in the most sustainable way imaginable. 

And that’s what I can do for you, too. 

I’ve built a coaching program called the Dad Bod to Greek God where I teach you the exact methods and strategies that helped me and many others get in the best shape of their lives and stay that way for good.

You see, each person is different and requires a unique approach that suits their busy lifestyle to get results as fast as possible.

And my promise to you is if you don’t get the results you desire once you’re inside my program, I’ll double your money and give it back to you 🤝

I help professionals break free from #ImposterSyndrome and lead a life full of purpose and inspiration.

🌟 Are you a successful leader who feels like your accomplishments still aren’t good enough?

🌟 Do you shrug off compliments and recognition with the wave of a hand saying, “Oh, anybody could have done it!" 

💡You’ve followed the playbook—studied the experts, sought mentorship, and continue to get recognized and promoted. Yet, a nagging question remains: “Do I truly belong?” “Am I really good enough to be here?”  

🎭 If you’ve ever felt like an imposter in a room full of accomplished professionals, you’re not alone. 

🚨 Imposter Syndrome is real. And you’re in great company. Research shows nearly 90% of successful individuals experience it. But here’s the truth: thriving isn’t about silencing that inner critic; it’s about understanding its roots and channeling its energy to unlock your potential. Silencing your inner doubts by actively responding and not reacting to your thoughts and feelings.

💼 With over 30 years of executive experience at Fortune 500 companies like Charles Schwab, Adobe Systems, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, I’ve experienced firsthand how Imposter Syndrome can affect leadership, culture, and performance. As someone who has lived with Imposter Syndrome for most of my life, I’ve learned how to turn my inner doubt into a real *superpower.* 

📖 As the creator of the V.O.I.C.E. personal development model and author of "Find Your VOICE as a Leader™”, (2016, Aviva Publishing), I provide actionable tools to help leaders like you embrace authenticity and expand into your full potential. I’m also privileged to coach at The Wharton Business School, where I guide MBA executives to discover clarity, confidence, and true authentic leadership.

✨ My journey—one that includes thriving in sobriety since 1991—has taught me this: Your greatest growth lies beyond self-doubt. Beyond limiting beliefs. Beyond feeling like a fraud. And when you stop “faking it” and start *facing it,* success becomes intentional, inspirational, and deeply fulfilling, to yourself and the communities that you serve. 

✔️ Ready to transform your inner critic into your greatest ally? Let’s work together to amplify your authentic leadership and build a life and career aligned with your values. Connect with me on LinkedIn or reach out at:  paul@paulnlarsen.com.

❓Now, isn’t it time for you to feel CONFIDENT, INSPIRED and FREE as well❓
