My Life My Power

What My Life My Power does

My Life My Power (MLMP), legally My Life My Power World, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2010 by former MMA fighter and WWE Tough Enough Champion Daniel Puder. The organization provides social and emotional intelligence (EQ) training for youth and adults through an evidence-based curriculum portfolio centered on three products: GPS for Life (a 20-unit interactive course for K-12 classrooms, after-school, and diversion programs), GPS for Success (a 5-unit, 5-week teacher-led program), and the Black Belt Transformational Mentorship Training (a tiered White/Red/Black/2nd Degree program for adult mentors). Additional offerings include the International Red Ribbon Movement (IRRM) drug prevention curriculum, corporate training, and MLMPI Institute workshops. Delivery combines interactive online modules (via app.mylifemypower.org) with physical hard-copy curriculum materials, grounded in positive psychology and motivational interviewing.

MLMP operates a network of five branded schools across South Florida, Arizona, West Virginia, and Fellsmere, Florida, alongside adult training and university partnerships (e.g., Nova Southeastern University). Revenue mechanics span program fees (curriculum sales to schools and adult learners), donations (GoFundMe, AmazonSmile, individual giving), entertainment event ticket sales through My Life My Power Entertainment (pro-wrestling events priced $3-$20), and quote-based corporate training contracts. The GTM motion blends community-led school partnerships, event-driven awareness, and inquiry-based sales for adult programs. The organization is founder-led with a Board of Directors (Brittney Sharpe as Chair, Brent Puder as Secretary, Ed Davis as Treasurer) and a high-profile advisory board including a White House practitioner, Voices for Children CEO, and a Harlem Globetrotter. The company is privately held, operates from Miami, FL, and reports 11-50 employees with no publicly disclosed financials.
