Discovery! Philosophy
 

 

Our philosophy is quite simple…

 

 

To meet people where they are, no matter what, and help them discover answers within themselves.

 
 
To us, it really is that simple. No matter your race, religion, outlook, or belief system, Discovery! is designed to enrich your life and help you become the best person that you can be.
 
  Discovery! History  
 
Founded in 1998 by Fred Lowder and Brett Stalcup, Discovery! was created to provide a balanced approach to enhancing people’s lives. Fred’s collaboration and partnership with Dr. Phil and Dr. Joe McGraw’s group training workshops in the mid 1980’s helped lay the foundation for what is now Discovery! By utilizing some of the most effective principals from the training workshops, Discovery! takes the same principals and presents them in a more user-friendly format and in a shorter time frame… all at a more reasonable tuition.
 
 
Since its inception, Discovery! has seen literally thousands of lives enriched and broken dreams restored through the use of time proven tools and basic truths to life.
 
  Discovery! is a non-profit 501c3 organization.

Since beginning this work with Dr. Phil McGraw more than two decades ago, Fred has seen more than 20,000 lives impacted by going though these life-fulfilling programs.

  Brett Stalcup  
  Brett Stalcup co-founded Discovery! because of his commitment to helping others make positive lifelong changes. Sponsoring hundreds of people through the Discovery! program, Brett’s passion for helping individuals make tough choices has long been a driving force in his life.

A graduate magna cum laude with a degree in Finance and Law from Texas Tech University, Brett gained exceptional experience as a trial lawyer in Dallas as both a misdemeanor and felony prosecutor for the Dallas District Attorney. He left the District Attorneys office in 1987 to enter private practice where he successfully litigates cases in the areas of civil, criminal and family law.

Brett’s dedication to the service of others is a gift he experiences every day both in his law practice and his ongoing interaction with people in crisis. He founded the Coach Charlie Stalcup Foundation in honor of his brother who fought a courageous battle with cancer. The foundation is a living memorial to Coach Charlie by helping families touched with the devastation of this disease find hope when traditional means of support is unavailable.

Brett is married and has two children. He is active in his church and his community and continually discovers new ways to live his life mission and to be of service to others.
