Ever wondered how a self-proclaimed "asshole" transforms into an ambassador of kindness? Join us as Ernie Wood, life coach and author of "Asshole to Awesome: Journey to Joy and Happiness", shares his extraordinary path from negativity to positivity. In a candid conversation, Ernie unpacks how societal pressures, such as racism and group dynamics, can lead to negative behavior and the importance of recognizing and overcoming these patterns. We explore the resistance to change many face, often due to the comfort of familiar habits, and how Ernie confronted his own negative traits to embrace a life filled with joy and kindness.

Discover the poignant lessons Ernie learned about forgiveness and letting go of grudges, illustrated by a touching story about a strained family relationship. We highlight the key role kindness, gratitude, and empathy play in fostering a better world. As we shift gears to health and wellness, we discuss the benefits of nasal breathing and the revolutionary concept of intermittent fasting. With a focus on creating a balanced life, Ernie shares personal experiences and practical strategies to optimize physical and mental well-being. Whether you're seeking personal growth or just curious about the power of kindness, this episode promises insights and inspiration for a more fulfilling life.

It's one thing to highlight the kindness that we see in the world, but it's another to, as I put in many of my social media posts, #bethechange. I am donating all of my royalties from the sale of my book, Change A World; In Order to Change The World to local and national non-profits. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
