So many moments, so many memories of joy, tears and laughter. Here is short clip and stay tuned for many more including the moment that stopped the room.
The impact that David Goggins has on people’s lives is phenomenal. Here is one such story from two beautiful people who attended Upgrade Your Life 2020 in Sydney Australia.
Thank you Casey-Lee and Maddox for sharing your story with honesty and vulnerability. Losing a loved one to depression and suicide is tough and tragic but your strength in sharing the story and building your lives back up is truly inspirational.
Thank you David Goggins for your inspiration, generosity and your love for humanity that clearly drives you.

I just want to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for this weekend. I’ve been on cloud 9 since I’ve come away. It was honestly one of the best weekends of my life. You guys absolutely smashed it!!! You should be so so proud. The work that clearly went into that event didn’t go unnoticed. I can’t wait for next year already! Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💛💛💛

What a transformative 2 days. I’ve been to dozens of conferences previously, and have never seen such great leadership to give such structure and glue to the facilitators. The lineup was a top shelf of international thought leadership facilitators. I agree with Sam’s speaker introduction that David Goggins is possibly the most influential man on the planet right now. Thanks Sam and the team for an authentic, caring, community approach to upgrading our lives have several practical and effective tools that I WILL implement.

I just want to once again personally thank A Higher Branch Academy for your efforts in putting together the most insightful weekend of my life including giving me the opportunity to meet David Goggins and have 2mins to show him my appreciation. It meant so much to me I’m shacking once again as I write this. Listening to others share their stories with David put me at easy and at home in many ways. With or without Goggins I will be back next year bigger and stronger. Love you all. Cheers, peace out.

Thanks again for organising an awesome event. I met so many people over the
past 2 days! The event was very well run with amazing speakers, great food and memorable after parties. It was a great way for us to hit the reset button and kick start 2020. We’ve reserved our seats for 2021 and we are looking forward to see what you have planned. Wishing you all the best and thank you for welcoming us into the upgrade your life community.

There are events that claim to have a mind, body, wealth and health connection and there are events that deliver. Upgrade Your Life is an event for those that have a deep passion for exiting mediocrity and clearly breaking down the tools for joy, health and prosperity. If you want to take things to the next level in areas of Charity, Love, Family, Work, Friendship, Learning or Wealth, Sam and his team have nailed the magic formulae. Keep changing the world guys, it’s working.

Sam Makhoul
Sam Makhoul's defining moment from his childhood. His inspirational story tells us that out of every adversity there is the opportunity for greatness.
Out of Adversity comes the opportunity for each of us to display our own greatness. See how David Goggins reacts to Sam's own adversity during the Lebanese civil war. David’s own life story inspired Sam to share that defining moment on the stage at Upgrade Your Life 2020.
Almost all of humanity makes this mistake. In this short video, recorded live in Sydney at Upgrade Your Life 2020, Sam Makhoul, founder shares a metaphor on the tragic consequences of neglecting parts of your life on the promise of tomorrow.
The limits we place on our growth are often self-imposed. It is when we push beyond what we believe achievable that we discover new possibilities and set higher benchmarks.

Our Community
A Higher Branch may be a new community but we certainly sent a loud and clear message at UYL2020. The days of neglecting parts of our life to climb the material ladder are over.
The days of deferring our happiness for a dangled short-term carrot are gone.
The days of living subconsciously as a slave to our past fears and regrets is behind us.
