My guest today is Dr. Phil McGraw. He’s one of the most well-known and trusted mental health professionals in the world, best-selling author of 9 books and the host of TV’s #1 daytime talk show, DR. PHIL. He focuses on presenting compelling stories about real people with a variety of emotional and behavioral problems, stripping away the shame and embarrassment that too often keeps people from seeking help. He continues to value his academic training and professional qualifications and insists that the information provided on his show is based on evidence-based treatment options and state-of-the-art research in the fields of psychology, psychiatry and medicine. Our conversation was so powerful that I had to split it into 2 parts! In this first episode we discuss becoming successful without the knowledge of how to deal with it, why you should always be in business for yourself, Dr. Phil’s gut-check moment when he said “I don’t want to do this anymore,” why he thinks it's so important to write letters of gratitude to those that helped him in life (Oprah), what happens if you aren't clear about who you are, and so much more!
