Mark, On Positivity: How to Create It, Maintain It, & Integrate It Into Your Life

Today’s guest is Mark, who is a long-time personal friend of mine, and also one of the most upbeat, positive guys I know.  This episode is going to focus on his amazing life story, and how all the things that happened to him - both good and bad - ultimately created who he is today.  Mark is not only a great role model for both kids and parents, but a testament to the idea that you can truly create your own happiness based on how you perceive things.

In this episode, we cover:
-The best therapy Mark has ever encountered (and why ultimately it’s a double-edged sword!)
-A traumatic event Mark witnessed when he was young, and how he coped with it
-How his mother took in abused women during his youth, and how that helped shape him as a person
-How growing up without a lot of money led to a lot of great things in his life - like running a food pantry
-Mark’s “taking care of everyone” approach to life vs. just taking care of yourself
-How being a minority throughout school made him a stronger person
-Marks #1 tip for raising really great kids (and it will surprise you!)
