Completely transforming your life and turning it around in a good way may sometimes seem impossible, but it’s not. My guest today is an excellent example to that. He spent 33 months in federal prison and once he was released, he changed his life around and became an inspiring person who made it his mission to help people change the way they view the emotions they have about themselves. Mark Moskowitz, speaker, coach, and author of the upcoming book, “Within: How I Found My Happy and Authentic Self in Federal Prison,” joins us today to dive into the learnings from his journey of transformation.

Mark’s Story – Life is seldom a bed of roses. We all have seen our fair share of disturbances and so has Mark. Mark opens up about his life story, the events that led him to end up in federal prison, how he turned his life around after that, and most importantly the learnings from the whole experience.

Authenticity and Self-esteem – We talk about how developing self-esteem and authenticity helped Mark turn his life around and a couple of books that resonated with him and lead him to key realizations about himself.

Obstacles – “There's really almost no harder path than having a conviction,” said Mark, describing his career trajectory after the conviction. Although we have lots of regulations to counter these issues, it’s a lot harder for people with convictions to move forward in their professional work. We talk about how Mark was able to overcome all these obstacles that were in his path.

Mark’s Book – Mark’s Book, “Within: How I Found My Happy and Authentic Self in Federal Prison,” is set to release in the spring of 2022. We talk about what inspired Mark to write his book, and the valuable lessons he has included in the book.

Baby Steps – Mark is a big believer of making small changes in our current situation that makes us happy. We talk about how we can implement this practice in our lives.

Health challenges can oftentimes be huge obstacles to our lives, and when conventional methods of healing fail to help us with our health challenges, we might find ourselves in extremely difficult situations. My guest today is someone who survived through this sort of a challenge and ultimately became a healer himself. Ari Gronich, Performance Therapist Educator Consultant, best-selling author, and the host of Create A New Tomorrow Podcast, joins us today to talk about how a crisis may become the catalyst to finding purpose.

Surviving Crisis – When Ari was a young adult, he went through several medical complexities and, at some point, was misdiagnosed, causing more trouble. We talk about the long journey it took for Ari to recover and how that influenced him to find new paths of healing.

Helping Athletes – One of the things Ari focuses on now is helping athletes achieve their goals. We dive into his approach to working with athletes and how he strategically helps them overcome their weaknesses.

Value of Community – Ari shares his perspective on why we need to have a community of trusted people around us, how modern media and other innovations have affected our sense of community, and how we can create better connections with other human beings.

Bubbles of Negativity – Another interesting point Ari brings up is that we often find ourselves in bubbles of negativity because negative stories grab more attention from the world. We talk about why we need to spread more stories about all the good things that are happening around us.

Addressing Trauma – Ari shares his thoughts on how trauma affects us, how trauma lives in our body, and why we should address where trauma lives in order to reduce the way trauma affects our lives efficiently.

Doing Better – Ari points out that the vast majority of the things around us and concepts and philosophies we’re used to are man-made and that we can change these things. We dive into how to create a better environment for mankind by changing these man-made things in a way that creates better outcomes.
