EP.38 - David Wood and Jen Newman Share Their Secrets For Creating A Mindset And Lifestyle Of Great Abundance

Seeing his parents separate at the age of seven, David Wood saw very clearly that if he wanted anything he had better be prepared to work for it. By the age of eleven, he had cleaned cars, worked in a retail, established two paper routes, and bred guinea pigs. Just after his twentieth birthday, David was headed back from a one week vacation in Africa and made a last minute decision to extend the trip. Fearful at first, his traveling journey has lasted over a decade and nearly forty countries. Now with more than 200 episodes and 153 countries listening, David hosts the The Kickass Life Podcast where he shares insights on how to lead (you guessed it) a kickass life.   As an elite gymnast, Jen Newman missed qualifying for the 1992 Olympics by only a few spots. She has applied that same tenacity and dedication to her personal journey of falling in love with her imperfections and finding true inner happiness. She has established herself as a health and business coach, massage therapist, yoga teacher, and most proudly likes to be known as a ‘Happiness Practitioner’. By helping people recognize the true nature of happiness and teaching them to habitually practice happiness, Jen works to facilitate society-wide-abundance.
