See The Upside - Overcoming Obstacles and Doing Life a Little Better Everyday

Jevon is a leader, mentor, connector and all around inspiration.
Growing up in extreme poverty in upstate NY, the odds were against him. He found himself going down a negative path with looming jail time and nothing but dead ends in his future.
Somehow, thankfully, just as Jevon faced up to 7 years in jail, he had a sudden awakening, which changed the course of his life and gave him a second chance to rewrite everything.
He found purpose, accountability, hope and most importantly, self worth and self love. He realized that he could change his life, and it was up to him to decide when, where and how to do it.
Jevon never did jail time. Instead, he went on to go to college, then the army, then got an MBA and became a go to expert in cyber security. And now he uses his story and knowledge to help others overcome insurmountable odds and realize their best lives and help them puruse and manifest their dreams..
We talk about many key factors to turning life around, getting what you want, and stepping into a life of purpose and generosity. There's SO much here. It might be my favorite interview so far.
In the interview we cover:

Discovering the power we actually have over our own lives and how it can change your experience completely
Finding spirituality on your own terms and letting go of needing to connect to God through the way we’ve been taught
Why spirituality might be the missing peace to get to self love
How being a leader can help you discover the best version of yourself
Living life for the greatest benefit of all involved and why it will benefit you
How to shift from perfectionism to a finding the lesson mindset
Understanding that failure is a necessary part of success
The importance of believing something is possible in order to make it happen
Approaching success with an attitude of service
Embodying the person you want to be and becoming it
The limitlessness of success and abundance
Why so many people struggle with loving themselves
The simple power of positive statements, compliments and smiling

34. Feeling the Sober Vibes - Getting Real about Going Sober with Courtney Anderson

Ever thought about going sober? I've got several friends and family members who have either drastically cut down or stopped drinking all together. I personally have dialed it back big time from my 20's and 30's. To me, I love the clarity, the way my body feels and the amazing sleep I get!

But there may be things about going sober that you don't know. Like when to do it, or what is the hardest part, what to expect from your body, how long does it take to feel good, how do you know if you have a problem, can you still have fun, will you like yourself? Will you even know yourself?

Courtney Anderson is here to help. She hosts a podcast called Sober VIbes which dives deep into the good, the bad and the just plain hard about going sober. Her frank honesty and incredible sense of humor show us that you CAN get through the really difficult things and not only survive, but thrive.

In the interview we discuss:

Why you don't have to be an alcoholic to want to stop drinking
Why it takes so much energy to be an alcoholic
How you may get to your breaking point with alcohol and what all people who do have in common
The cravings you may get when you quit drinking that you might not be expecting
How to handle if your partner has a drinking issue
What Courtney says about AA and other similar programs
The surprising connection between drinking and eating disorders
Tools to stay on track if you stop drinking
