“I knew I was chasing the wrong dreams at that time. I wasn't being authentic, and it was really simple. I just stopped and I was like, I just think I'm going to get sober.”
This week on Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, we have renowned author, TV personality, director, life
coach and interventionalist, Mike Diamond in the studio. 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 suffering from ADHD and drug addiction after hitting rock bottom.
As Mike opens up about his past and reflects on his road to success, he offers useful gems along the
way. On one occasion he talks about opportunities, being prepared and the connection between them.
Listen to this very frank and inspiring discussion between two individuals with similar pasts. You will
surely enjoy the interaction.
“Preparation meets opportunity is luck. But if you're not prepared, you don't get the opportunity.” Mike (31:25)
There is no shortage of useful advice in this week’s episode. Listen in as Danny dives deep into Mike’s
past; from his drug addiction to suffering abuse at an early age to, living with ADHD, listeners can expect
to find practical advice and insights about healing your mindset which can be done in many ways
including, according to Mike, through a simple act of forgiveness.
“I'm empathizing and being compassionate for a person that didn't have 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 parasympathetic mode and give people a pass.
Forgive them. Don't take it personal.” – Mike (47:20)
