About Brian

BRIAN SEAN REID

Life | Health | Business Coach, Author, Speaker

For the past three decades, Brian Reid has moved people from around the world, helping them transport their lives from where they were toward where they wanted to be. Walking his talk and letting his own nature flow freely, he developed his unique ability to connect people with their nature. His desire for every individual to truly “get it” and his endless, innovative energy are just a few of his qualities.

A Man With A Mission

At the age of five, without having the vocabulary yet to express it, Brian felt strongly that he was put on Earth with an important mission to accomplish. This intense calling was his bright light on the uncertain path of his young, tumultuous life. It stimulated him to make thoughtful choices, and seek out the best to guide him along his own Way Home from where he could complete his mission.

Looking back at his life so far, no matter how challenging at times, every single step he took and every single obstacle he conquered contributed to how he has developed into who he is today. Just as we all have our doubts, fears, weaknesses, habits, or patterns that don’t seem to work for us, so does Brian, and he trained himself to recognize them and create successful patterns that serve his ever-evolving goals. One thing stands out that has helped Brian dramatically change his life, and the way he lives it in such a positive way, and that is Brenda Lee.

A Big Man With A Big Black Horse

In his late 30’s, Brian felt the desire to once again have a horse in his life. He remembered the Arabian horse he had when he was 19, and recalled how scared he was that he’d hurt that beautiful fragile horse under the weight of his substantial physique while riding. So he focused on finding a horse larger than himself to care for, to jog and to play with, and to simply share his life with.

During his search he found a beautiful Shire mare at a farm in New Hampshire: Little Miss Dynamite was her name, or more commonly known as Brenda Lee. At the time, she was only a yearling, but Brian knew she’d grow to become the one-ton powerhouse that Shires are known for.

However, before he’d take her home, he had to be certain that she wanted him too. After spending several days with young Brenda Lee at her farm in NH, it was clear that this was love at first sight. From the very beginning, Brian couldn’t get Brenda Lee out of his bubble. She had so much connectivity; she followed him all over the pasture, and her degree of playfulness and interaction was contagious. Even today, Brian enjoys Brenda’s playful energy, and over the years their natural connection has grown so strong that people worldwide marvel at it.

Life Coach and Horseman

Brian continued to follow his bliss and life’s mission, and developed himself as a teacher and life coach. Drawing from his own life experiences and the education and programs he studied, Brian became the unique coach he is today. He has successfully helped clients transform their personal and/or professional lives, their relationships, their physical health and fitness, the weight loss they always strived for, and sometimes just simply guided them on their journey to help them stay on their path. He also successfully applied his own teachings to move towards the things that mattered to him. At the age of 40, Brian became a competing bodybuilder, and won the NGA Mister America (Novice Devision) in 1999. He went on to win the Rocky Mountain Naturals (heavy weight) in 2001, and took ninth place in the 2003-2004 NPC Team Universe (heavy weight). These successes. along with his insights into simplifying the natural laws and principles, and his infectious enthusiasm inspired him to found Learning Systems International Inc. and create the Horses Know The Way Home Academy in 2007. This was his first online coaching program that reached people worldwide, creating extraordinary results in remarkably less time than they ever expected. Based on its success, Brian kept improving the online teaching experience for his students, and expanding on the coaching modalities until the birth of the HorsePower Academy: an all inclusive, 13 week, interactive and experiential online coaching program, open to anyone committed to take their life, health, fitness and/or career to the next level and beyond.

Brian’s innovative and driving nature has influenced his unique approach of “getting to the core” of what you really want. He targets your immediate roadblocks and offers a practical approach without spending a lot of time on tangential issues so that you can make a beeline to discover, harness, and release all of you toward what matters to you in your lifetime.

Over the years, Brian has been a much invited Keynote Speaker and Guest Teacher nationally and internationally.

We’d love to share a chronological summary of the most impactful moments during his career:
