Show Notes
Do you ever wish you had more control over how you felt or what direction your life was going? Or wish you could figure out how to get out of those funks we all inevitably go through instead of having to just ride it out? Well our guest today teaches people how to do those things and more. Our guest today is Bob Gardner and after discovering and learning how to conquer his own demons he now teaches others how to do the same.
Bob spent 18 years of his life battling frequent bouts of depression, addiction, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. As an entrepreneur, that internal struggle made him unproductive, very sensitive to any threat to his business, and very poor at making decisions that would put food on the table for his family. It bankrupted him and took him to the brink of losing his wife and kids…Until he finally couldn’t take it anymore and created a method to completely get rid of those inner demons so he could live life without the constant struggle. Since founding his company The Freedom Specialist, he has helped hundreds of people through programs, presentations, coaching, and retreats to discover that… stress doesn’t have to be “a fact of life”… and that happiness is a skill anyone can learn. It’s also the most reliable road to leaving behind all the things that keep people stuck in depression, anxiety, addiction, and more.
