Today's guest on the show has a different kind of wisdom to share with us than most guests. He spent over a decade working in a church and now is a keynote speaker and consultant who specializes in helping people understand their own stories and what the truth about them really is.Rocky Garza challenges the stories you tell yourself so that you can experience the freedom of living vulnerably. There are stories that you tell yourself, whether they were first told to you by someone else or it's something you've created all on your own, that contribute to feeling unworthy, insignificant, and incapable. Through coaching sessions, team workshops, and keynote presentations Rocky wants to show how the truths we have been told have developed into lies we deeply believe. All of Rocky's work and words can be boiled down to one truth, that who you are is good. In all that he does, Rocky want to challenge the stories we tell ourselves so that we can experience the freedom and confidence of living vulnerably.And since 2015, he's been doing just that. Clarity, transformation, freedom—that's why Rocky does what he does. Many of us are, without realizing it, living a life fueled by doubt. It's time to kill that doubt and build conviction so that your life is fueled by truth that you deeply believe in. Rocky lives in Dallas with his wife and two kids. On the weekends you can catch Rocky outdoors with a cup filled with either coffee or tequila.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...How Rocky's childhood impacted his life moving from place to place (3:20)Why he was driven to work in the ministry (13:14)The keys to facing arrogance through confronting your anger (19:52)How Rocky was able to reconcile with his parents (25:38)How perspective has helped him with marriage, parenting and all relationships (33:12)The importance of authenticity every day (40:03)Connect with RockyTheir websiteOn InstagramOn TwitterOn LinkedinOn FacebookConnect With Peter O.
