Heart of Dad Season 1 Episode 8 - Martin Morrison

In this episode I interview Martin Morrison.Martin Morrison is a ghostwriter, editor, speaker and coach who specialises in mindset transformation, mental programming and helping others discover how to live a more purposeful life.His slogan is "Express Your Truth With Clarity", and Martin ensures he is expressing his truth clearly in everything that he says or does.Martin's own physically and emotionally violent childhood taught him that we all face challenges whether we close up into a ball or go out fighting. He chose to take the bull by the horns and live his life as authentically as possible.It would be decades before Martin finally managed to clear out all the negative "programs" implanted into his mind as a child, the subconscious self-loathing, but once he began his own journey of mindset transformation, the effect it had on his own life was profound.Now he helps others to do the same.Martin is a father to 4 children.In this episode we discuss:The journey into entrepreneurshipHow martial arts are a route to mindfulnessThe joy of going with the flow The impact of relationship breakdown before the birth of his daughterAdjusting to being a time-sharing dad and the pressure of comparisonHow having children forced him away from alcoholismGoing beyond breakdown and depressionThe perils of emphasising things that don't matterThe turning point when a mentor pointed him to a truth about his own fatherHow a difficult moment with his son over maths homework opened his eyes to a situation that was going off trackThe spiritual and physical redemption that came through a commitment to AA (Alcoholics Anonymous)You can find out more about Martin at http://www.martinmorrison.me and LinkedIn/martinjmorrisonJoin us in our community at:  www.facebook.com/groups/heartofdad and apply to be on the podcast here: www.heartofdad.com/contact
