About Frankie

Frankie M. Powers is a Marine Corps veteran and Dale Carnegie Top Performance Award recipient. He spent years rooted in anger and resentment, carrying the weight of circumstances he felt he could not control. Then he hit rock bottom. He decided that day to become the victor of his life instead of a victim of it.

That decision changed everything. Frankie fully immersed himself in the study of human behavior, emotional intelligence, and the mechanics of real transformation. He trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming. He became a certified mindfulness meditation instructor and a certified yoga instructor. He studied at Yale and the University of Barcelona. He holds an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters from Mainseed University. Every credential serves the same goal: understanding what actually helps a person change, not just what sounds good on a stage.

Frankie wrote about the climb out of rock bottom in his book, From Rock Bottom to Mountain Tops. He built a framework called the “21 Universal Principles” to help others make that same climb with a map he never had.

Today Frankie is the father of two, daughter Nori and son Jonathan. Jonathan is also his partner in building VISTO, a platform reimagining how people build real human connection, alongside Nexcera Holdings and Tree of Hope. Frankie’s focus has always been the same, whether he is coaching a client or building a company: helping people find the purpose, connection, and freedom that once felt out of reach for him too.

If you are standing where Frankie once stood, he is not interested in telling you his story just to tell it. He is interested in showing you the way through yours.
