Rate ShowA pleasure and healing!
I was lucky enough to have just been a guest on Fearless Happyness with Max where I had the chance to talk about about addictions drastically altered my ability to create.
Speaking with Max gave me a chance to recall and discuss an almost forgotten life that I once lived that now looking back I can see shaped me into the person I am today: a strong, intelligent, and passionate artist and businessman owner.
I had a blast chatting because Max was engaging, open minded, and extremely thoughtful. His own story weaved in perfectly with mine and likely many others guests!
Highly recommend to give this a listen if you or anyone you know has struggled with any trauma, substance abuse, or general hardships over there lives! Very encouraging and uplifting!

Karma and Kismet _ A Spiritual Quest Across Continents, Cultures, and Consciousness
I had the great honor of being interviewed by Max Nijst for Fearless Happyness. We spoke about my award-winning memoir, Karma and Kismet — A Spiritual Quest Across Continents, Cultures, and Consciousness. Max is a wonderful host — upbeat, relaxed, insightful, compassionate — a companion with genuine humility and empathy born of his own suffering and the life lessons he’s gleaned on the way. Thank you for the good company, Max!

Caring coach and mentor
As for the podcast, Max has a variety of guests with different situations and challenges they have overcome their lifetime. It’s filled with valuable advice and ways to succeed. if you’ve listen to his story and read his book, you can see that Max has overcome prison, addiction , being left with nothing, And then he is crawled back from rock-bottom. Which makes him a good person to be able to help you with anything from building your business to overcoming your addictions. Since he’s made his lifes work as an addiction, counselor and coach. As for me personally Max has been there when I’ve been in my darkest place. He has always been available to talk to me and work with me when I was overcoming my own alcoholism and my past addiction to prescription medication. People tend to retreat and battle these things alone. Max was the one person that always checked in with me when there would be radio silence and even if I was snippy with him, he was kind, and comes from a place of love, and truly understanding and wanting to help. And so for that, I can call Max a great friend as well. Highly recommend you work with him.

An Attitude of Gratitude
Thank you Max and your awesome guest Anthony Sabatino in the episode discussing Emotional Intelligence. I, too, Max was taking copious notes (those Golden Nuggets) and let me tell you that the Negative Self Talk that I had for 35 years, I named him 'Oscar the Grouch' would emerge and constantly tell me I couldn't do things because of my stutter. Cut to age 40 when I embraced my stutter, I shut Oscar down and I began to live a purposeful life because what your guest said was true, "God does put people in your life for a reason" and that is why I'm still here and averted from my suicide attempt because the darkness was too much. God put a person in my path and my darkness turned to light. Thank you MAX for this amazing episode and your podcast.

A Helpful Podcast!
Max is an inspiring person. I love that he turned his life around. He was on a destructive path and then found a way to come up from the ashes. I had read his book and am excited to see how he created a good life out of something that was a dead end. I just heard about the Podcast and started listening. Great stuff! Inspiring. Keep it up Max!
