Alec is the founder of Conscious Poker, a popular poker training platform, and after spending the last 14 years making decisions for hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single hand, he now gives talks in which he dissects the anatomy of decision making to help others hone the way they make choices. To improve their playing skills, enthusiasts attend courses like the one run by the Israeli Poker Academy, which counts 600 graduates since it opened about a year and a half ago. “Our goal is to give amateur poker players a professional’s perspective,” says Stas Tishkevich, one of the founders. The fact that there's an Israeli Poker Academy might surprise some people, but then Israel provided more players in this Main Event than any of Bulgaria, Greece, Portugal, Brazil, Spain, Ukraine, Ireland or Lebanon. 'I think if I remember correctly there were 22 Israeli players in the Main Event so we definitely have a community,' says Levi.

Who is Alec Torelli?

Alec Torelli is a professional high stakes poker player turned digital entrepreneur and keynote speaker, who shares how the lessons he learned from poker can be applied to life and business.

Alec is the founder of Conscious Poker, a popular poker training platform, and after spending the last 14 years making decisions for hundreds of thousands of dollars in a single hand, he now gives talks in which he dissects the anatomy of decision making to help others hone the way they make choices.

Through his blogs, videos and keynotes, Alec tackles subjects such as: the role of luck in life, evaluating risk, maintaining a positive mindset, strengthening mental fortitude, handling adversity and setbacks, managing your bankroll and cultivating self-awareness.

Together with his wife Ambra, they divide their time between Las Vegas, LA, NYC, and Italy.

Alec in Poker

With over $1,500,000 in tournament winnings and millions more in both live and online cash games, Alec Torelli is one of the most respected poker players in the industry today.

Known for competing in the biggest cash games in the world while living in Macau, Alec would play in games where you bet a car and get raised a house, and the buy in alone was $1,000,000.

In his 14-year career, Alec has traveled to over 45 countries and been featured on ESPN, CBS Sports, Travel Channel, Fox Sports, Cigar Aficionado, Poker News and many more.

Compelled by his passion to share the lesson he’s learned and help others on their journey, Alec has coached players from all over the world. In 2017 he founded Conscious Poker, a poker training site dedicated to transforming good players into great ones.

Why Optimal Decision Making?

The game of poker mimics life in the sense that it forces you to make decisions without having complete information. After playing millions of hands over the past 14 years, and mastering the art of taking calculated risks, Alec has developed an unparalleled ability to apply the skills he learned in poker to evaluate situations in life and business.

Alec uses a combination of logic, intuition and self-awareness to help others make better, more informed choices, and determine the optimal course of action when you can’t ‘see all the cards’.

Why Marketing and Entrepreneurship?

Poker and entrepreneurship have always gone hand in hand for Alec. Soon after he started playing poker professionally, he began running a large affiliate operation for the world’s largest poker room at the time, PartyPoker, and took what he learned in this marketing venture to start his own digital company specialized in lead generation.

While running his company together with his wife, and traveling the world full time to play poker, Alec crafted his own tactics to optimize outsourcing and productivity, and applied the teachings he learned in poker about evaluating risk and decision making to managing a profitable business.

After seven years in affiliate marketing, Alec made a pivotal shift and decided to leverage the skills he learned in that space to create his own brand (10,000,000 views on YouTube) and poker training site, Conscious Poker, which has helped transform thousands of players from good to great.

Today, he manages an all-virtual team of 6 employees from 5 countries, typically from his favorite local coffee shop.

Get ready for a bold call to action as Alec draws on his experience as a full time traveling digital entrepreneur. You will learn that his belief in freedom, excitement and choices is something that’s attainable with simple adjustments in your priorities, spending and saving, that ultimately allows

people to achieve the life they want. With a strong emphasis on accountability and self-awareness, Alec will challenge you to map your actions to your ambitions, ensuring you’re fully aware of what your goals are, leaving you with extremely effective and practical steps toward attaining them. Provocative, informative and actionable, this talk will resonate with you for a lifetime.

Hi there,

Israeli Poker Academy Pro

Would you like to find and follow your passion, while overcoming the fears and obstacles that stand in your way?

That is exactly why I built the Academy.

The Academy contains everything I’ve ever created, and each week, I add more to the library.

There are courses ranging all the way from heart-based business to writing and publishing books.

(You can find a full list of available courses as you scroll down).

Interested? Scroll down for more information.

“I’m blown away by what you’ve put together in the Academy.”

“I started 7 months ago, I now have 300 subscribers and $400 earned.

Before I joined the Academy, I had three problems:

a) Passion. Deep down I knew what my passion was but I had so many mental blockages around it that I was honestly convinced that I didn’t even have one.

b) Knowledge. I had no idea how to make a business online and/or do what I loved – I didn’t even know what a blog was (I know – for a 28yr old that is ridiculous right!?)

c) Fear. I was terrified of giving up my financial security and all the luxuries I was used to in order to start something from scratch and potentially fail.

Here’s how the Academy has helped:

I could get cheesy here but let me be terribly English and simply say that ‘I owe Henri a lot’.

a) My psyche. Lifestyle Liberation Academy (LLA) taught me to get honest with myself about who I really was and what I was really born to do. It supported me to set aside all of my fears and my limiting mental dialogue and actually give my dream business a chance. It was Henri’s intuitive teaching that made me realise that I was not alone, that how I felt was completely normal and he gave exceptional advice of how to work through those mental barriers.

b) The Knowledge. The courses offered in the LLA are second to none. I was a complete novice so I needed to be spoon-fed, and Henri gives you practical, step by step instructions on how to go from Zero to Successful. Everything you could want is covered: how to set up your site, what to name it, your sign-up incentive product, how to write articles, SEO, building your subscription list, and lots lots more. It is first-class stuff and so digestible for a beginner.

c) The Support. You can ask any question that you come up against and you get answers back within hours. Henri is always there to add his expert input.

Not least of all, by having a facility like LLA, it got me from running around in the dark, unhappy, without a clue, to working in a growing business, living my dream and feeling very joyful about my life.

What about my results?

I started 7 months ago. I now have 300 subscribers, have guest posted on Tiny Buddha, The Change Blog and have been picked up and republished by Life Hack and magazines. I currently have 2 regular coaching clients at $100 per hour and have made approx $400 so far. My first product launch was a flop (only made one sale) but I learnt from it so it was good – it didn’t solve a big enough problem for my readers. I have just released my second product (guided meditation) – let’s see how it goes 😉

I would recommend LLA to anyone who wants to be their own boss, work from anywhere, choose their working hours, do what they love, and partake in the incredibly rewarding experience of creating their own business. LLA has everything you could need to make that happen and more.”

The Growing Library of Training

The Academy is more than just one program.

It’s a growing library that is added to every week.

Here’s a list of what’s in the Academy:

1. Academy Core Training

The Academy core business training is a 10-module course.

Here’s a taste of what you’ll learn in the core training:

• How to cultivate an indestructible mindset, so you can easily navigate through challenges
• The key to finding a profitable niche for your business (no more agonizing over your choices)
• How to stand out from all the noise (miss this and you might as well stop)
• How to set-up your site (and what posts, pages, and elements your site must have)
• The best way to create content that people love and that gets shared (I share exactly how I get hundreds of tweets and shares on some of my posts)
• How to use a simple newsletter to make your first $1,000 (people say “the money is in the list” and it’s true)
• How to attract an audience of fans that can’t wait to buy from you and share your work
• A simple process for coming up with, creating, and launching your very first product
• How to make connections and friends (because if you don’t, your growth will stagnate)
• The “secret” to making massive progress (even when you run into obstacles)

The core training contains almost 10 hours of detailed, step-by-step training on how to build a profitable lifestyle business.

“What Henri shares in the Academy has helped me make my first $100 online doing what I love (fitness).

I’ve been able to build a site that gets thousands of monthly visitors, and I’m on the verge of launching my first product. I couldn’t have done it without the training and support of the Academy!”

Dejan Antic, Slovenia

2. NEW: Live Your Passion

What if you didn’t have to figure out what your passion was?

What if you could just start living it, today?

In the Live Your Passion Course, you can do just that. In this course I’ve put together everything I’ve learned from living my passion for well over a decade.

It also includes tips and techniques only shared with clients.

In this course, you’ll discover that you can start doing what you love, right now. That’s not an exaggeration.

3. Writing Workshop

Do you want to be a writer?

Are your fears stopping you?

In this digital workshop, I share what I discovered after over a decade of writing.

You’ll discover how to find your authentic writing voice, overcome fears, and learn to write faster and more effortlessly.

You also get access to templates and checklists to help make your writing sharper.

4. Invincible Mindset

Imagine being able to handle any setback and obstacle life throws at you.

You see failure as an opportunity to learn.

You see criticism and learn from it (if there’s something to learn).

If something doesn’t work, you find another way forward.

In the Invincible Mindset Class, you learn all of the above. You discover how you can develop a mindset that helps you do what you love, no matter what comes your way.

This class only contains tips and techniques that have worked for me, and the people I’ve worked with, so you’re in for a treat.

5. Abundance

Do you ever feel like you don’t have, or aren’t, enough?

Would you like to change that?

Would you like to learn to tap into your inner abundance, prosperity, and wealth?

In the Abundance Class, I share my framework for seeing beyond the traps, so you can go right to the source of your joy and abundance.

When you do this, you begin to see the opportunities that were always in front of you.

As always, this class is filled with proven, practical techniques that I’ve found to work.

“Henri does what he teaches, especially when it comes to working hard in his programs to remove the overwhelm and get members moving towards their goals. I have no doubt he can help you make progress with your lifestyle business!”

Co-Author of ProBlogger

6. Truth & Clarity

In this class, I go through common obstacles and fears, and how I personally overcame them.

Examples of topics covered in this class: Dealing with criticism, overcoming excuses, moving forward when you feel paralyzed, impostor syndrome, and so much more.

Most lessons are kept under 10 minutes, so you can easily listen to it while out for a walk, or read it on a short break.

This class is about you getting a sneak peek into my mindset, and what works in the real world.

This is not theory, but what I’ve found to work.

NEW: 7. Transcend Worry

Do you struggle with worry and fear?

Do you find yourself paralyzed by the movies playing in your head?

Then you’ll love this class, because it goes deep into the structure of how we as humans create our experience of life.

As you begin seeing this, your whole life changes, because your relationship to your mind changes.

You may still worry, but something has shifted.

If you like the way this sounds, you have to check this class out, because it may just change your life.

8. Inner GPS Course

What if you discovered how to make decisions as yourself?

You wouldn’t have to rely on outside authorities anymore.

You’d know how to deal with confusion, fear, and worry. You wouldn’t eliminate negative feelings, but you would know how to deal with them.

Does this sound interesting?

The Inner GPS Course condenses what I’ve learned in over a decade of living an unconventional life, and how I’ve learned to make decisions that lead to a satisfying and fulfilling life.

9. The $100 Site Course

The goal of this course is to help you build an online website that makes between $30 and $100 per month (hence the name).

I’ve been building niche sites for years, and this is how I got started.

In this course I’ll show you exactly how I do it.

You’ll get step-by-step video tutorials, checklists and unlimited support via email.

It’s a great and fun experience.

10. WordPress Unraveled

Have you ever been held back from starting your lifestyle business because of the technical difficulties?

Well the WordPress Unraveled Course helps solve that problem.

In this course, you’ll discover, step-by-step, how to use WordPress to run your website, without having to pay a webmaster to help you every time you run into a problem.

No previous technical skills required.

All you have to do is show up, and you’ll learn how it all works. The video training is casual, conversational, and simple.

And if you ever get stuck, you can ask as many questions as you want via email.

11. Kindle Publishing Course

Self-publishing works, and it works well.

You can write books, and share your gifts with the world, all without going through the big publishing houses.

I’ve done this myself. I’ve written 6 books (so far), and it’s bringing in a nice extra income, plus attracting new people to my websites and business.

In the Kindle Publishing Course, I share everything I know about going from not knowing what you want to write about to having a book done and in the Amazon marketplace.

This course is still in progress, which means I’m adding new lessons each month.

That in turn means that if you have questions, or if a video is missing, I’ll create it for you.

NEW: 12. Emotional Mastery

Do you struggle with unwanted emotions?

Would you like to learn how to turn ‘negative’ emotions into a force for good in your life?

In this class, I share how to do that, while also sharing what I’ve found to be effective in transcending emotions.

This is not about pushing away emotions, but something entirely different.

It’s counter-intuitive, but highly effective.

This information will be useful for the rest of your life, so I’m excited to share this course with you.

13. Ongoing Training Courses

You also get access to ongoing training courses. These courses are specifically designed to help you move forward.

You know what that means, don’t you?

It means that I listen to your feedback when I decide what courses I create. It also means that the courses will be extremely effective in helping you reduce your learning curve.

Let’s look at just a few courses that are currently in the Academy:

1. Lifestyle Blogging

I’ve built up my blog to 11,000+ subscribers.

In this to-the-point course, I cover things like:

• The Wake Up Cloud Method of Blogging
• How to Come Up With Unlimited Blog Topics
• Blog Templates That Will Make You Famous
• 11 Things You Must NEVER Do
• And so on …

It’s full of goodies.

And what members really love about these courses is that I hold nothing back. You get to see exactly how I do things, what’s working, and what’s not.

2. Lifestyle Productivity

I get a lot of things done, while spending most of my days playing guitar, learning how to draw cartoons, and hang out with my two kids.

How do I get so much done in so little time?

That’s what you’ll discover in the Lifestyle Productivity course, which covers things like:

• The Secret to Superhuman Productivity
• The Art of Getting Things Done
• 8 Productivity Hacks That You MUST Know
• How to Use Systems to Double Your Productivity
• And so much more …

Yup, lots of goodies here as well.

3. Success Alchemy

In the Success Alchemy course you will learn how to set and achieve your goals.

But this isn’t your traditional goal setting course. This is my [Henri’s] way of getting things done.

Israeli Poker Academy Reseda

I account for chaos, fear, and uncertainty, which so often paralyzes you, and keeps you from moving forward.

This course contains all the tips and tricks I’ve found along my path to help me move forward even when the world around me seems to be plunged in darkness.

In short, in this course you’ll get a simple framework to follow that will help you move forward, and overcome the obstacles that so often hold you back from doing what you love.

“I’ve joined several different courses on blogging and earning money online.

Some of the were quite expensive, but none of them gave me what the Lifestyle Liberation Academy has. In the courses I’ve tried before, there usually wasn’t a place where I could ask questions. And if I could, my questions were often misunderstood.

It [The Academy] has resources for getting you into the right mindset, as well as resources for your technical needs. As for me, my affiliate marketing goals are moving along and my blog is up and running. I’m also moving along with an ebook/kindle book project. All thanks to the Academy.”

Renee Millares, USA

14. Life-Changing Interviews

I conduct in-depth interviews with experts both in life and business. These interviews are exclusive to the Academy.

Some of the interviews you’ll get instant access to when you join are:

• How to Use YouTube to Build a Six-Figure Business
• How to Make Money Freelance Writing, Right Now

• And Many More …

The interview library is constantly growing and expanding. I can’t stop myself from talking to smart people, which means that you’ll get lots of great interviews when you join.

15. Email Support

You also get access to me (Henri).

You get my private email address, where you can ask me any questions you might have.

Any and all questions are welcome, especially the ones you think are silly or stupid, because those are the ones that matter to you.

16. The Rolodex

Finally, we have the rolodex.

This is the resource area in the Academy where we gather all the best services and products.

That means you won’t have to go hunting for what you need. You have everything you need in one place.

You’ll save time and money.

“Henri’s Lifestyle Liberation Academy is a great resource for aspiring entrepreneurs and existing business owners alike.

The thing I admire most about Henri is how accessible he is personally as well as how his pricing makes learning about entrepreneurship available to anyone.

Unlike other gurus who are heavy on marketing and hype, Henri is an authentic guy who genuinely cares about his clients and gives his time and knowledge generously to those who are serious about taking control of their life and career to have a more aspirational lifestyle and business based on their interests and passions.”

Unsolicited Feedback from an Academy Member

“I’ve Found My Niche and My Passion. My Website is Already Up and Running Thanks to the Academy!”

“Before I joined the Lifestyle Liberation Academy, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start.

After joining the Academy, my progress is much faster. It has given me a roadmap so that I always know what to focus on and how to take the next step. I’ve found my niche, what I’m passionate about, and my website is already up and running.

What I like most is that the training deals as much with mindset as it does the mechanics of building your lifestyle business. There is a lot more fear and overwhelm involved in the process than I realized and Henri does an awesome job teaching how to deal with these feelings and keep moving forward. Another thing I like is the structure with workbooks and checklists that always keeps me on track.

On top of that, the ongoing training and courses has amazing content. Henri really over delivers.

And let’s not forget the access to Henri. I can get an answer to any question at any time.

“I Went from Zero to My First $100”

“After a few months in the Academy, I went from zero to getting my first clients and making my first $100.

I took massive action under gentle nudges by Henri. The part I like most about the Academy is people.

I can ask as many questions as I want and I’m never criticized or made to feel stupid.”

About the Creator of the Academy

If you didn’t already know, I’m Henri.

I’ve always lived an unconventional life.

Right out of high school, I became a professional online poker player. I traveled the world and discovered that money wasn’t the answer to happiness.

In 2006, I started feeling like I could do more. I felt like something was missing. I went online in search for something else. I wanted to contribute something to the world.

I didn’t know what that was at the time. I’ve always liked building websites, so that’s where I started. I began looking for opportunities. The problem was that I was looking for shortcuts and quick fixes.

This led me to get-rich quick programs and coaching, where I ended up wasting over $10,000.

In 2008, I was short thousands of dollars and two years. I wasn’t seeing results, and I gave up for almost a year. I just didn’t know what to do. There was no one I could turn to for help. And to be honest, I didn’t have the right mindset at the time.

Finally, in 2009 something clicked. And when things clicked, I went from $0 to $500 per month online in just a few months. At the end of 2009, my girlfriend and I (and our dog) moved to Spain for a year.

And this is what it looked like.

We made new friends.

We ate some great Spanish food.

And we learned some Spanish. Fue un tiempo maravilloso.

Then in 2011, we returned to Scandinavia. It felt like the next step for us.

And we were right, because in March 2011, Ingela (my girlfriend) became pregnant. And in December 2011, our first son was born.

In 2015, a second one plopped out.

Having a lifestyle business means I can spend as much time as I want with my family.

Anyone can build a business around something they are interested in. And anyone can tap into their purpose in life.

Yes, that means you, too.

But you have to be willing to take the first step.

And I sincerely believe that the Lifestyle Liberation Academy is the best first step you can take.

I don’t see myself as an all-knowing expert. Instead, I’ve just made a few more mistakes than most people, and I’d like to share those mistakes with you in the Academy.

I want to see you succeed.

Because that is what makes my heart sing.

“I started trying to figure out how to “make money online” in 2007.

Since then, I’ve spent a small fortune on ebooks, paid memberships, and websites that were supposed to start making me money fast. None of it worked.

But one day, I stumbled upon Henri and the Academy. I think the Lifestyle Liberation Academy is one of the best tools and resources for any expert or novice (like me) that wants to make money doing what they enjoy.

Henri is very attentive. I can’t imagine a better support system for the same money any where else.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes you qualified?

This is what I do every day. Since 2009, I’ve made a full-time living online.

I don’t use unethical business practices. I make a living by helping people change their lives for the better.

I’ve built a blog with 11,000+ subscribers from all over the world. I only teach what I know works, and I’m an open book when it comes to sharing my mistakes and failures.

I don’t claim to be an expert. I simply share what I know. I’m in the trenches every day running my business. If you’d like to learn from me and move forward together, I’d love to see you inside the Academy.

Q: When will I get access to everything?

After you’ve created your account and paid, you will get instant access to everything.

Q: What about overwhelm with so much training available?

There’s no denying that there’s a lot of training in the Academy. It’s easy to get overwhelmed, and that it’s not my intention to overwhelm you. My intention for the Lifestyle Liberation Academy is to build a library of training that you can access when you need it.

When you join the Academy, you fill out a form of what you want to do, and what you’re struggling with. You then receive a personal answer from me giving you a recommendation on where to start.

Q: Why should I trust you?

You don’t have to trust me.

Try the $1 trial and see how things feel for you, if they resonate.

Q: I don’t have a business yet, will this help me?

Yes. The core academy training is specifically designed for complete beginners. You can follow along step by step, and if you have any questions, you can ask as many questions as you want.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re just getting started, or if you already have a business, the Academy will help you.

Q: I don’t have enough time

That’s why you can download some of the courses, put it on your phone, and listen while you wash the dishes, take the dog for a walk, or have some downtime.

Not having enough time is the reason you should join the Academy, because it will save you time. You won’t have to hunt for training or help. You don’t have to spend hundreds on coaching or courses.

Q: How long does my membership last?

You pay for each month in advance. And you can cancel anytime. There are no obligations.

Q: What are all these courses? How does it work?

All the courses are available online. You get access to a members-only website where you can access all your goodies and the comunity.

You will get greeted by a welcome video to help you get started and eliminate the overwhelm.

Q: How long do I have access to all the training?

For as long as you stay a member.

Your membership gives you access to a huge range of training and unlimited support. I’d love to see you join.

All the best,
Henri
