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.
