i2R 011: From Suicide Survivor to Living Your Life's Purpose ft. Sean Douglas

This week's guest Sean Douglas has an absolutely incredible story. It's not like the ones you hear where he just worked hard and then got rich. This is a MUCH deeper more heartfelt story than I have heard up until this point on Idea to Reality. Sean had an extremely tough childhood filled with abuse, alcoholism, and so much more. The first real chance he had to remove himself from that situation he did exactly that and joined the air force when he was only 18 years old. Something interesting happened throughout Sean's service in the air force. He started off as a big drinker, partier and all around just making poor choices when he first joined. As you can imagine a major reason for this was his rough childhood experiences coming back to the surface. After being like this for quite a few years Sean hit rock-bottom in September of 2008 after his house burned down and his wife took the kids away. That night Sean put a gun in his mouth to end it all. His life was filled with toxic relationships, negative self-talk, absolutely 0 belief in himself and without a purpose in life. He believed that the world would be a better place without him. That night, Sean received multiple calls from people in his support system and multiple people came over to ensure sure he did not take his own life because they all saw his worth even when he did not. After some real therapy and suicide awareness, Sean realized that he never felt valued. He did not do anything of value because he did not feel valued. This was a key moment of awareness. At this time Sean had a very negative mindset, and then, his mindset began to change. I AM worth something, I CAN do good. His great work ethic was pointed out to him by multiple people, he then went on to overcome drinking, smoking and began the journey of winning back his life and reputation. Years later, Sean has fulfilled one of his dreams of becoming a public speaker and delivering his first TEDx talk. Today, Sean speaks around the country, has his own radio show "Life Transformation Radio", and a business called the Success Corps which helps to unlock your true potential and elevate your life to new heights. From psychology to mindset, to resilience training, we talk about it all and Sean gives us actionable steps on what we can do today to take ourselves to that next level. Sean is inspiring people all over the world to take control of their lives and avoid the dark, dangerous path that he found himself on multiple times throughout his life. Connect with Sean here!
