Have you ever seen someone completely enjoying life? Living to their fullest, not brought down by anyone or anything, totally having their stuff together? It's almost like they know secrets you don't. This show is about those secrets. Don't worry. Not very many people know these secrets. Or if they do, they don't apply them. These secrets are skills and mindsets not taught in any college or high school course. We may have heard of them, but no one taught us how to actually apply them to our lives. Which is a shame, because when you apply them, your life becomes more awesome. That's why I created this podcast, for young adults who are looking to up the awesome level in their lives. I am Joey Mascio and I’m a certified from the Life Coach School where I was trained by Master Life Coach Brooke Castillo. I am also a Be Bold Master with Jody Moore. I take the strategies and tools I’ve learned from these two powerful women, and lots of my own and adapt them for teenagers and young adults. I am also a middle school teacher and counselor, a proud father of three, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
