I'M late for my interview with Peter Crone, also known as The Mind Architect or, as Chicago Cubs World Series winner Miguel Montero puts it: "The best mind guy out there."
My Zoom is playing up. I text his assistant. "It's OK" I tell myself. Among his clients are world-famous celebrities and pro-athletes. He was Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman's personal trainer. I'm not A-list but this can't be the first time he's been kept waiting. Finally, I'm in. He's unphased. "There she is!" Afterwards, I'm sent the Zoom recording, including the delay. A behind-the-scenes moment, if you will - and it's probably this that tells me most about him. More on that later.
Crone, who is English but lives in California, specialises in revealing and then dissolving the "limiting beliefs and subconscious narratives" in people that "dictate and shape behaviour, health, relationships, and performance". He's like a therapist and spiritual guru in one - and also a former personal trainer, which is where he began.
It's not A-listers, all sorts of people flock to him, "from the 60-year old billionaire to the stay-at-home parent" for myriad reasons: either the "possibility of becoming someone or something new" or to "overcome problems", be they "anxiety, depression, chronic sickness, or addiction," or "athletes or entertainers with unfulfilled expectations" who are perhaps wanting to overcome "past failures".
And, boy, does Crone have fans. Gwyneth Paltrow says he can "help unbridle your potential". PGA golf champion Charles Howell III says Crone is "without a doubt the person who has had the biggest impact on my day-to-day life". And one of the most famous faces on the planet recently gave him a shout-out in a stadium. (He won't say who. "He's a dear friend. I wouldn't want to compromise that.")
He's also appeared on the 2017 Netflix documentary Heal, and a Goop podcast.
