What do you constantly tell yourself you can't do? Do you look for all the reasons why you're not capable of change? How often do you let yourself off the hook by saying, "Well, that's just the way I am?" Today we have Gary John Bishop on the show to talk about his new book, Stop Doing That Sh*t: End Self-Sabotage and Demand Your Life Back. He's going to tell us why we develop negative conclusions about ourselves and how we seek to validate these false beliefs even though they prevent us from living a full life. Gary reveals how we get caught up in destructive cycles and why positive thinking alone does not work. He also talks about how to deconstruct self-limiting beliefs and live in alignment with a vision that allows us to live passionately as we step into our future selves. If you've listened to our previous shows with Gary John Bishop, you know that this interview will be full of no BS, in-your-face insights that will make you face some hard truths. Brace yourself!

What is a rite of passage? What does a rite of passage look like in modern times? How can you go about creating a rite of passage experience for your son? Today, I talk about how I created a rite of passage for my 11-year old son by planning an epic hiking trip to Quandary Peak in Breckenridge Colorado. The culmination was when we reached the summit and I read him a letter about the pillars of manhood and how I would show him how to master each one. Listen to my experience and how you can create a rite of passage to celebrate your son's passage into manhood.
