#55: The Book Of Open with Jason MacKenzie

''You have so much power to influence the world, you just have to believe it.'' - Jason MacKenzie

Today I’m talking with Jason MacKenzie, who is here to talk about the power of vulnerability!

Jason is a father, speaker, author and coach.  He shows people around the world how to create their best lives by finally finding the courage to share their real stories.   

Jason is sharing the important life lessons he has learned from his harrowing personal journey.  He is a survivor of his wife's battle with bipolar disorder and subsequent suicide and has overcome a decade-long battle with alcohol.  His driving purpose is to propel those who want more from their lives to increasingly higher levels of personal and professional performance through cultivating the power of vulnerability.  He teaches them it’s in the crucible of authenticity where they will develop unlimited strength, courage and wisdom.

His goal is to equip every person with the tools to be honest with themselves about who they really are and to make choices that will create more of what they want in their lives.

During today’s interview, Jason shares his incredible journey of hardships and transformational moments. We also talk about the power of vulnerability, making small contributions, teaching your kids to take ownership, his new book, and lot’s more!
