Recovery isn’t just for those struggling with drugs or alcohol—it’s for anyone facing life’s deep wounds: trauma, codependency, anger, food, or pills. In this heartfelt episode, we welcome Mark Hooper, a man who’s walked through it all and is now celebrating 20 years of sobriety. Mark opens up about his early life, his battles with relapse, and the personal transformation that followed.

From brokenness to purpose, Mark shares how recovery gave him tools not just to survive—but to serve. Today, he’s involved in prison ministry, global missions, and living each day as the mission. This is a story of faith, friendship, and the kind of healing that doesn't always come with a storybook ending—but reveals a greater plan at work.

Whether you’re in recovery or just navigating life’s hard places, this conversation will inspire and challenge you

In this episode of the M4M Podcast, we explore powerful lessons from The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday—focusing on the discipline of the will, the importance of preparing for trials before they hit, and the strength that comes from accepting what we can’t control.

We unpack how figures like Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt endured hardship by cultivating resilience from within, and how our response—not our circumstances—defines our growth. From learning to master emotional responses to practicing the “premortem” mindset in leadership, this episode is a call to lead with intention and humility.

Whether you're facing a personal challenge, leading a team, or just trying to grow day by day, this conversation reminds us: Life won’t stop coming—but neither should we. It’s not about what happens to us, but what we’re building in response.

• Are you building or breaking your will?
• Are your emotions in the driver’s seat—or your vision?
• Are you preparing for life’s trials or simply reacting to them?
• Are you trying to force something that’s not your gift?
• How do you respond when control slips from your hands?

Made4More & What How We Can Help

In this episode of the Made4More Podcast, we dive into one of the most impactful lessons from the book we’re working through: learning how to use obstacles to our advantage, rather than letting them define or defeat us. Drawing from powerful examples like Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Arthur Ashe, we break down what it means to meet adversity not with aggression, but with composure, clarity, and action.

We explore the dichotomy of stepping back vs. pushing through, the discipline required to pause, and the importance of leading from a place of growth—not ego. From stripped screws to leadership failures, it’s all about self-awareness, humility, and shifting perspective to seize the offensive in life and leadership.

WAYS WE HELP

Topic: Mastering Objectivity & Perspective

In this episode, we dive into the importance of practicing objectivity, altering our perspective, and focusing on what we can control when facing obstacles.

🔹 Practicing Objectivity – We often exaggerate challenges or celebrations, letting emotions take over. Training our minds to pause, assess, and respond instead of reacting can shift our approach to obstacles.

🔹 Altering Perspective – Just like Pericles’ sailors panicked at an eclipse, we often fear what we don’t understand. By zooming out, we realize many challenges are manageable. Viktor Frankl’s wisdom reminds us that we have the power to change our mindset at any moment.

🔹 Is It Up to You? – Even with a 1% chance, effort matters. The story of Tommy John teaches us resilience—if there’s a chance, we fight. Controlling our attitude, perspective, and effort gives us the best shot at success.

Key Takeaways:
✔ Don’t give obstacles more power than they deserve.
✔ See things for what they truly are.
✔ Control what you can control.
✔ Keep trying—adjust your approach if needed.

Tune in for a powerful conversation on overcoming fear, embracing growth, and taking control of your mindset!
