Hear how Holly overcame addiction and a felony conviction to become a counselor, and how Dean left the seminary to serve others. They reveal practical tips for building trust, fostering unity in marriage, and living boldly with purpose.

When your past includes being a convicted felon by 19 and married to a drug dealer, or leaving seminary to heal from family dysfunction, the path forward isn't clear. Yet somehow, Dean and Holly Kim not only found their way through these challenges but discovered each other in the process—forming a partnership that has transformed countless lives over their 33-year marriage.

This raw, authentic conversation reveals how two people from seemingly opposite backgrounds found healing and purpose. Holly shares her remarkable journey from addiction and self-hatred to over 42 years of sobriety, while Dean explains how facing his family's painful struggles with addiction became the foundation for his life's work. Together, they've created a powerful framework that helps people understand themselves through three distinct parts: the wounded self that doesn't feel enough, the protective self that tries to numb pain, and the true self that desires wholeness.

What sets this discussion apart is the practical wisdom they offer about building healthy relationships. Their advice on reestablishing connection before trying to solve problems, learning to trust yourself before trusting others, and creating a shared vision as a couple provides actionable insights for anyone struggling with relationships. Their Transform You program and book "A Roadmap to the Soul" embody their approach to healing—making complex psychological concepts accessible to everyone.

Beyond their professional work, Dean and Holly radiate the joy of living what they teach. From their recommendation of "seven and seven, thirty and thirty" (having sex every day for seven days, then thirty days) to their delight in exploring their beloved New Orleans together, they model what it means to create a fulfilling partnership. Their message of seeing people's inherent worth and helping them move beyond fear speaks directly to those seeking to live boldly with purpose.

What if everything you thought about productivity was backward? What if doing more wasn't the goal, but rather doing what matters most?

Mark Elwood, inventor of the TimeCorder and productivity expert, challenges conventional wisdom with a refreshingly practical approach to getting things done. After decades of conducting time studies across industries, Mark reveals the startling truth: most people spend only 20% of their time on high-priority activities. The top performers? They manage to push that number to 30%—a small difference that creates massive results.

Mark's journey to productivity mastery began in childhood as a newspaper delivery boy, where he intuitively developed systems to fold papers faster, optimize routes, and collect payments efficiently. Those early experiences later informed his invention of the TimeCorder—a simple device that tracks time spent on different activities throughout the day. But what began as a product quickly evolved into a service, as Mark discovered the real value wasn't in selling devices but in analyzing how people actually spend their time.

Perhaps most surprising is Mark's revelation that despite decades of technological advancement, we still spend roughly the same percentage of our time (25%) on administrative tasks as we did before the internet. Technology promised to liberate us but has often just replaced old busywork with new digital distractions.

His remedy isn't complicated: start each day with a blank to-do list and ask, "If I had nothing on my schedule, what would I do to affect my results a month from now?" Those activities—not yesterday's unfinished tasks or today's emergencies—deserve your first attention.

Whether you're building a business, advancing your career, or searching for purpose, Mark's approach offers a clear path forward: identify what truly matters, break big dreams into manageable steps, and protect your time for high-impact work. Because productivity isn't about doing everything—it's about doing what counts.

What happens when a sudden $10 million lottery win sends someone spiraling into addiction rather than happiness? Peter John Mavo courageously shares his never-before-told story of how unexpected wealth nearly destroyed him before he discovered the true meaning of success.

With raw honesty, Peter reveals how his early life challenges—growing up in a broken home and supporting his injured mother—gave way to a promising start as a professional golfer and skilled bartender. Then came the day that changed everything: his mother won over $10 million in the lottery. Rather than solving their problems, this financial windfall accelerated Peter's descent into cocaine addiction, alcoholism, and eventually multiple suicide attempts.

Peter's transformation began with reluctant exposure to personal development, particularly Tony Robbins' teachings. Through implementing small, consistent changes—what he calls "the compound effect"—Peter rebuilt his life from the ground up. Now four years sober, happily married, and running multiple successful businesses, he embodies the principle that "success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure."

This conversation explores the surprising dark side of wealth, the power of incremental personal change, and the spiritual awakening that came through Peter's darkest moments. His morning routines, relationship practices based on radical honesty, and newfound purpose offer practical insights for anyone seeking meaningful transformation. Whether you're facing addiction, searching for purpose, or simply curious about what truly creates a fulfilling life, Peter's journey proves that our darkest moments can become our greatest gifts.

Follow Peter on Instagram and Facebook @peterjohnmavo1984 as he prepares to launch new health and mindset programs—and watch for his move to the United States in 2026, pursuing a twenty-year dream with his wife as they embark on their next chapter.
