How To Escape a Life-Sucking Career: Extreme Career Reinvention with Criminal Lawyer Turned Clown, Robert Markowitz
The Breakout – Unleashing Personal Growth
11/08/23 • 30 min
“I was beginning to lose my ability to feel. I would go to movies just to be able to cry, because otherwise I didn't feel anything”. If you’ve ever felt dead inside and that your job was killing you, you’re going to want to hear Robert Markowitz’s reinvention story. Years ago, Robert was a very successful, and incredibly miserable, criminal lawyer. And then something broke and he traded in his respected, high earning law career for a new career that no one would have predicted, especially not him
Settle in for one of our favorite breakout stories, as Robert shares how he traded in his high status job for a pair of clown shoes. Robert’s journey of personal growth is a quietly inspiring self-improvement story. Robert takes us through his life, from being a young man with low self-confidence who followed family pressures to go into law, only to find misery at the end of that path, to being a person who jumps without a safety net in search of happiness. It’s a candid, funny, and brave story about pushing back against expectations, confronting failure, and throwing it all away to find what you really need.

Ep70: Stopher Cavins reCHARGED
The Breakout – Unleashing Personal Growth
10/26/22 • 40 min
Stopher Cavins spent so much of his life in a “me bubble”. Situations that occurred during his childhood presented him with challenges which he dealt with by going into survival mode. Unfortunately, he would remain in that defensive survival mode for the next 30 plus years, which presented a real challenge to those trying to get close to him.
Throughout his 20’s and 30’s, he didn’t seek answers from within. While he liked the idea of spirituality, he would never make time to connect spiritually. His time was spent protecting his “me bubble”. Ego was fully engaged, enabled, and empowered.
For Stopher, this way of life was getting the job done. His fully empowered ego was protecting him from experiencing the pain and heartache that he experienced in his childhood. The flip side was that he was extremely unfulfilled and always disappointed with where he was in life.
As he entered his 40’s, things changed for him. The universe was tired of hearing him complain about not having what he thought he deserved. He was launched into what he later realized was a spiritual awakening. The real Stopher finally stood up and took control.
For Stopher, developing psychic and intuitive abilities was never a goal. In removing expectations and fears from his life, he opened up a whole new world for himself. Once his ego was checked, his higher self, along with his guides, and angels took over. Stopher’s calling is to help people heal. He wants people to get the clarity about their situations that he was never able to get and to bring a sense of clarity and confirmation to those about their path forward.
