The Man Who Is NEVER Done Growing with Doug Sohn

A couple of hours before the celebration of his 40th wedding anniversary, Doug Sohn suffered a stroke. He and his wife had planned a huge party at their house, a wedding cake and lots of guests included, but the party never happened. Within 24 hours, Doug would suffer four strokes. Fortunately, the incident wouldn't leave any lasting damage. At that moment, celebrating his Ruby Anniversary in a hospital room with his wife and kids, Doug had a realization. Reevaluating his life, he would notice he hadn't gotten where he expected to be at this point in his life; he still got lots of dreams to reach. 

After studying personal development for over 40 years and applying it in his life, Doug realized he was on a plateau. Somehow, he had bought into the concept society tries to impose, that we are done growing when we reach a certain age. 

Today, I'm honored to welcome Doug Sohn once again to the show. Doug is the Founder and CEO of Success After Sixty, where he shares his over 40 years of experience studying human potential development and applying it to his own life, and helps people reach their success. Doug is also a trial lawyer, inventor, patent holder, entrepreneur, martial artist, husband, and father of six.

In this episode, we talk about the overlooked potential of people going through their second half-century. Doug shared the story of his realization in the hospital room and how he decided to use his over 40 years of experience in self-development to help himself and others. We explore Doug's unique approach to aging, the vital importance of having the right mindset, and the extraordinary resource of using our thoughts to modify the physical structure of our brain.
