In this episode of The Authorpreneur Podcast, I talk with Tzachi Ozeri, the author of Monk vs. Monkey Mind: Becoming Aware of Your Thoughts to Manifest the Life of Your Dreams.
Tzachi doesnât regard himself as a Guru or a know all. His ideas and life approach were forged by living life to the max and trying to make sense of it all. His writing is honest with no excess or words without a real meaning.
For 38 years, Tzachi felt lost; he then started looking for how he got to where he was, and changed his focus from the 'why' to the 'how' to help him reprogram his subconscious and create new habits for a new reality. He realized how he inherited his struggle with addiction from his parents, which further led to him struggling with relationships and having a consistent, stable roof over his head.
One of those times he became homeless, and was sleeping in a van, overthinking his situation. He realized that he was blaming everyone else but himself for getting to this stage. He looked at himself in the mirror and realized the apple didn't fall far from the tree. His struggle became his passion, and he uncovered multiple ways to overcome his personal struggles and heal his past. His books share his story and he hopes to inspire and help those who struggle to find their path.
If you like a good story of self-discovery and redemption from someone who turned their story into a book, then I really think that youâre going to enjoy this episode.

In this episode of The Authorpreneur Podcast, I talk with Jason Wolbers, the author of The Power of a Positive Mindset.
Starting at a young age, Jason learned how important it was to have a positive mindset in his personal and business life. Heâs been in direct sales his entire life and started as a sales rep at 18, fresh out of high school. Despite his age, he was the number one salesperson in his company (with around 150 representatives) for two years at the ages of nineteen and twenty.
He was consistently outselling people who had been in the industry for five, ten, fifteen, and even some of them over twenty years. Some of them were more than twice his age. Why did he outsell people with far more sales ability and knowledge? It was because he took the time to learn and develop success principles and was disciplined in living by what he was learning.
Jason has always believed that champions are made behind the scenes, not in the limelight. He was willing to do what most people wouldnât and constantly studied sales, psychology, and personal development.
Jason has compiled his knowledge and wisdom into his best-selling book, The Power of a Positive Mindset.
In this episode, Jason and I discuss personal development, motivation, impostor syndrome, and overcoming self-doubt. If youâre interested in learning more about how Jason has leveraged his book into his business including motivational speaking engagements, then youâre really going to enjoy this episode.
