[7:00] Michaels Story
At 4 years old Michael’s mother cut off his right index finger, she was a drug addict and alcoholic.At 6 his hyper-abusive step-father beat and hospitalized him. At 7 he was molested by a den mother in the Mormon Church. From 8-12 he was often homeless and in deep poverty and did what it took to survive from stealing food and only bathing at school. He got high for the first time at 12 and drunk at 13. By 15 he was expelled from school for selling drugs. At 18 he found himself deep in The Vortex and began chasing money to solve his problems. By 25 Michael was 350 pounds, smoking two packs a day, drinking himself to sleep, and attempted suicide for the second time.Then he had his mirror moment and decided to stop being a victim of trauma and to be the HERO of his own Story
[20:00] The Turn Around

“We're only willing to tolerate what we're willing to tolerate.”

“Every day you don't move towards your dreams. You're moving towards a death, filled with regret.”

 “A radical acceptance of accountability is the only true sense of freedom that you'll ever have.”

[29:00] OvercomingTrauma 

“With trauma and abuse it’s not the finger that was cut off. It’s the thing that we carry with us, it’s the theft of our identity.”

“You have to get to the place in your life where you find the thing that forces you forward with momentum.”

“Nobody's coming to save you. There is no Disney moment, whatever it is that you think is going to happen, it ain't happening.”

“The more you try to figure it out on your own, the more confused you are..And here's why, because what, you know, got you to where you're at… And so if you want to get to where you want to go, you better go ask somebody else”

"You can only build confidence through consistently doing incredibly uncomfortable things continually."

 [48:00] Mindset

"Mindset is what you think becomes what you speak, what you speak, becomes your actions and your action becomes your reality."

"If you want something you're going to have to work for it, you cannot get by in your charms and your good looks"

“If you want to have something you've never had before you got to do something you've never done before”

"If you don't believe in yourself, who will?"
