Today I’m elated to share with you the first of a 2-part interview with author, blogger, and speaker Steve Pavlina!
If you aren’t familiar with Steve, he’s probably more passionate about personal growth than anyone else you’ll ever meet.
From struggling with kleptomania, to landing in a jail cell, to rebuilding his life, to graduating from college in 3 semesters, to surviving a failed business and learning to build a business touches people around the globe, Steve’s journey is fascinating.
Featured in USAToday and The Guardian, Steve’s articles on positive habits, time management, polyphasic sleep, subjective reality, ethical non-monogamy, and so much more, have impacted millions of people’s lives.
In this first part, we explore what it’s like to overcome kleptomania, how Steve graduated college in 3 semesters, and how to use life to shape your character.
Enjoy, and be sure to SUBSCRIBE.
