About Me
I came up with my business name, Untapped Genius, while I was thinking one day about some of the people who have crossed my path.
Like Curts, a.k.a."Dr. Fits'n'Stiches,” a once homeless man who had asked me for a quarter but got me as a coach instead! Over time I came to know his *genius*, his brilliance, his own quirky, comic view of life. I often often found myself thinking ...
If only he had a way to bring his unique talent to life, to fully develop it, to promote it, to benefit from it, and, ultimately, to have a full and meaningful life because of it.
1-to-1 Coaching and Much More...
While 1-to-1 coaching can be very effective in increasing awareness, helping clarify goals, work through challenges, and integrate principles for passionate living, what was needed was a complete support system and playground to provide every means imaginable for people's desires, dreams, and passions come to full frution - no matter what their challenge.
I used my experiences as a life coach, personal growth teacher, musician, web developer, entrepreneur, (not to mention my own vast set of unforeseen challenges I've faced on my own journey!) and put together a comprehensive set of programs, including:
Untapped Genius - an online membership site that provides insights, tools, and community to grow your life and dreams.
Life as a Wave - an approach to moving your life forward based on how nature creates movement, growth, and expansion (check out my articles on the right sidebar) .
Packaging Your Passion - online, real-time "co-creating" your online business, including your website, courses, ebooks, videos, and more via the magic of "screen sharing" from anywhere in the world.

Life/Creativity Coaching
Carl has created one of the most original and invigorating frameworks for enjoying creative freedom in even the simplest and most mundane parts of everyday life.
It's a simple and achievable way to engage in courageous living. If it's true that everything that we do is motivated by either our hopes or our fears, then Carl's created a way to act on our hopes without being distracted by our fears.
In my career as a filmmaker, there are countless risks that I have to take. I turn to Carl's methods on a daily basis to help me make those choices with courage and conviction. He's helped to give me a creative freedom that I might not otherwise have claimed as my artistic right.

I personally could write a dissertation about the ways I enjoyed your presentation ... nothing but inspirational. In fact it was just right for me considering what I needed that day. I could go on and on really, and I will at some point.
For now I will say this: I think you have a knack for articulating ideas. And you have great ideas...ideas people need to hear.
You are a shining star.

Carl, you need to know what a huge impact you had on my life when we were roommates in music school, I lost 70 lbs (!) in 12 weeks because of what you showed me.
And you taught me how to live my life ... you told me things that I'll never forget. And Jimmy ... remember him barging in and doing push-ups in front of the tv? How he put down the booze, lost weight, and got those huge shoulders?!
I often speak of those days you helped us both out, coming up with a nutrition plan, working out together, coaching us on life and how to live it to the max. You did all that...you, my friend.
You need to tell your story, guy. The world needs to hear what you have to say, so don't be so damn modest about it!

I have worked with Carl over the last two years, particularly on my novel, Tiorunda Stories, which had a successful Buffalo, New York debut this year.
Carl is perfectionist, in the good sense of that term. His painstaking and successful efforts in formatting the cover of the novel, establishing a web site, and working out the technical printing details have all contributed to the success of the work. His strong aesthetic sense has also added an artistic element to the cover of the novel in addition to his wide knowledge of various venues that would open my work to both niche and general audiences.
I am currently working with Carl on a new project that will include a Web site for a daily alcohol recovery diary. I am impressed with his working knowledge of Web site technology and his strong artistic sensibility that is giving the web site an added creative element.
I look forward to working with Carl on other future projects, including my latest book and online community, A Recovery Journey, as well as my International Film Studies site where I'll be offering ecourses on history & culture through film.

With the help of my coach, Carl Contino, I was able to launch my ebook for my personal training business, Fortitude Fitness, not only on time for a presentation I was giving, but the quality was AWESOME!
I had all the tools I needed to create my first ebook for my personal training business. Even though we live over 500 miles apart from each other, my buddy (and Life Coach) and I were able to create my ebook through the Internet using the virtual collaboration tools.
What I could not do alone I was able to do with the support and vision of another - a key lesson I've learned on my path to success.
I ABSOLUTELY recommend anyone interested in pursuing their passion sign up NOW for Carl's service, as this will guide you to where you have never thought possible on your journey! DO IT!
