Most of us have that thing that can transport us out of our current state of being and to happiness, whether it’s a smell, taste, song, etc.

But what happens when you can’t seem to find those things to help you find your happiness? This week my guest Sean Douglas and I discuss his own experience with deep depression and suicide attempt.

Through the help of those around him, he was able to start to change his mindset, pull himself out of the dark, and in turn, create a space where he can help others who may find themselves in a similar situation.

Sean is The Founder of The Success Corps, a U.S. Air Force Veteran, a TEDx speaker, a Master Resilience Implementer & Suicide Awareness Trainer, a Business Positioning Strategist, an International Radio Show Host of Life Transformation Radio, and an International Bestselling Author.

Sean works with entrepreneurs, speakers, and business owners to improve their positioning in the market, increasing profitability while decreasing their anxiety and stress so their business thrives. While their businesses thrive they boost their own overall happiness.
