our background
The Building Better Humans project was founded by Glenn Azar after he left the Australian Army where he spent 17 years working predominantly as an Aeromedical Evacuation Medic.
Having experienced the amazing resilience of humans when on Operational and Non-Operational Deployments around the world Glenn started to immerse himself in Personal Development and the study of Human Behaviour.
In 2010, immediately after discharging from the military he commenced his own adventure company, Adventure Professionals, where he leads people on adventure trekking programs all around the world to destinations in PNG, Africa, Russia, Nepal, Canada, South America and Australia.
In 2016 he commenced a podcast titled The Building Better Humans Project which now surpasses 500,000 downloads per year and growing.
Glenn operates as a personal mentor and coach to professional athletes, corporate CFO’s and CEO’s, and everyday people wanting to make changes and improvements in their lives. His philosophy is simple, if you’re willing to do the work he can assist you in getting the most out of yourself. If you’re mot willing to do the work then no-one can help you. You’re the magic ingredient in change and success. . . .
In 2016 his daughter Alyssa Azar became the youngest Australian to summit Mt Everest at the age of 19yo. She made the summit again in 2018 at 21yo making her the youngest woman in the world to summit from both the north and south routes. Understanding what drives high performance and how you apply these tools in any area were very clear to Glenn during the years it took for Alyssa to prepare for these amazing achievements. Glenn is a qualified Registered Nurse, Life Coach and is currently undertaking a Psychology Degree. He is committed to a lifetime of learning and growing so he can be the change other require of him. All members of our team are selected and mentored by Glenn to ensure they maintain their own standards and the standards required of the Building Better Humans Project so that we’re living and breathing examples of what we teach others to do.
