Everybody experiences difficulties, hurt, and pain in life. It would be more surprising if we did not encounter any problems at all. How we deal with these situations makes us who we are. The saying that we learn more from our failures than our successes is true, especially regarding toxicities and setbacks in our lives. These experiences can shape us in ways we never thought possible – for better or worse. However, we have the power to choose how these things impact us. We can either let them control us or use them as rocket fuel to propel us forward. In this episode, we're going to explore with Mike "C-Roc" Ciorrocco how to convert setbacks and toxicities in our lives into rocket fuel that can help us break barriers and level up. In addition, Mike shares his story of how he used his life experiences to transform and achieve his full potential. For Mike, if we want to maintain our current level of success or even take things to the next level, we need to constantly assess ourselves – even when things are going well. Mike is the Co-Founder of the innovative tech platform 'blooprinted,' the powerhouse behind the "What Are You Made Of?" podcast, and the best-selling author of 'ROCKET FUEL: Convert Setbacks. Become Unstoppable'. A performance coach, author, dynamic public speaker, tech visionary, and thought leader, he has been featured by Yahoo! Finance as one of the Top Business Leaders to Follow in 2020 and is on a mission to build unstoppable people.What You Will Learn From This Episode01:48 - Rodecaster, mentors, and Clubhouse 04:40 - Being a people builder and using social audio 07:59 - The C-Roc experience and breaking the generational trauma14:17 - ‘Rocket fuel’ and having the ability to affect people in a good way18:54 - Assessing ourselves and being intentional about it23:24 - Looking at the present like how we look at the future25:00 - Filling the vacuum with positivity, energy, and content through podcastingResources MentionedQuantum Love by Laura Berman Ph.D.: https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Love-Atomic-Energy-Relationship/dp/1401948855 Check out Mike’s book here : ROCKET FUELConnect with Mike "C-Roc" CiorroccoWebsite: https://www.mikecroc.com/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-are-you-made-of/id1485634005LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-ciorrocco/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeycroc/ See What Your Obsessed Girls Are Doing and Send Us Feedback!CROWN AND COMPASS | Linktree -  https://linktr.ee/crownandcompassgirls----------Get Obsessed with us.
