Inspire Nation Show with Michael Sandler How to Unf*ck Yourself and Change Your Life!!! Gary John Bishop
If you’ve wanted to unf*ck yourself and discover your purpose, then do we have the Do the Work show for you.
Today I’ll be talking with Gary John Bishop, personal development and urban philosophy expert, the New York Times best-selling author of “Unf*ck Yourself” and “Stop Doing That”, and the author of an irreverent new guide to getting unf*cked, “Do the Work”
And that’s just what I want to talk with him about today, about changing your life and discovering your purpose. Plus we’ll talk about captain stardust, soccer and barbarians, relationships and vegas, frolicking with orphaned baby Koalas, Peruvian acoustic guitars and Machu Picchu, and what in the world suburbia and creating a man has to do with anything.
