    From a childhood filled with anger and abuse to overcoming that engrained anger by practicing the 5 love languages, Paul Zolman has changed his trajectory in life 180 degrees. Paul talks about his sister-in-law revealing to his girlfriend the only emotion the Zolman family knew was anger.

Determined not to have this remain as a truth in his life he set out to discover how to change and express love instead.

  • Start Living Today and Stop Waiting to Enjoy Life with Angelo Valenti
    Apr 9 2024

    Quit waiting for some day and start living today. How many times have you heard someone say "I'll enjoy life when I retire" or when "the kids get older"? Sadly, these are common excuses, ones that people often don't get to see or experience. Angelo Valenti joins me to share the key to living a fulfilling life and prioritizing what truly matters. He pulls back the curtain on this delayed happiness mindset and invites us to instead seize joy in the present moment. Angelo highlights the significance of focusing on joy over fleeting happiness.

He teaches us the art of finding joy amid adversity by revealing his personal journey, including the resilience he learned from his wife's battle with ALS.

He shares a path to a more fulfilled life, emphasizing that joy is within our reach and often starts with a shift in perspective.

    · Choose forgiveness to heal relationships and find inner peace.

    · Create meaningful memories today with loved ones that last a lifetime.

    · Cherish the present moment to experience true joy and fulfillment.

All the hallmarks of a great podcast...

The Theme: Guests are brought in to share not just the monumental challenges they overcame, but the achievements they accomplished as a result.

The Guests: Just about every walk of life is represented, and by being a regular listener, you can find all the similarities in the stories. You can even easily track on what really matters and common themes.

The Host: Mike is a friendly and engaging host. He asks many of the questions you hoped he'd ask, and a few you didn't know you wanted to hear answers for.

I highly recommend this podcast.
