In this week’s episode of Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, we have renowned author, TV personality director, life coach, and interventionalist, Mike Diamond. Mike has written several books on the human mindset and today Danny sits down with him to talk about how he managed to achieve success as a dyslexic person with ADHD and drug addiction after hitting rock bottom. 

Listen to the podcast as both men discuss the present and reflect on their past. It’s all about taking advantage of opportunities life throws at you according to Mike. It’s a very frank and inspiring discussion between two individuals with similar pasts that you will surely enjoy.

“Preparation meets opportunity is luck. But if you're not prepared, you don't get the opportunity.” – Mike (31:25)

Nothing is off-limits in this episode. From Mike’s drug addiction to suffering abuse at an early age, to living with ADHD, listen in as Mike provides practical advice and insights about healing your mindset which can be done in many ways including through a simple act of forgiveness.

“I'm empathizing and being compassionate for a person that didn't have the ability to self-regulate. So, I think for anyone listening for your audience and the reason I talk about in the book is that I let them know how much I suffered because of my mental health. You can regulate yourself and slow down the fight-flight and freeze and feed mode and get in the parasympathetic mode and give people a pass. Forgive them. Don't take it personally.” – Mike (47:20)
