Today I’m pulling out my therapy hat. Not that I ever have it completely packed away, but today I’m talking to Tim Storey, pop-culture thought-leader, author, speaker, life strategist and counselor. At least that’s how he’s described in his bio. We talk about labels – including the labels we both have – and the variety of things we do with the goal of helping people. So when he pull out self-help and personal growth gems in today’s show, I can't help but contribute my own theories and advice as a therapist. In fact, Tim even lets me anyalyze HIM. And his love life. Good stuff. In the meantime, more background you should know about Tim: One of his first labels was “The Comeback Coach of Beverly Hills.” He coaches and inspires entertainment executives, celebrities, and professional athletes – and their kids. He gives big talks, trains Oprah’s staff, hosts The Daily Moment, a series of segments that run on Reach TV at airports and in hotel rooms, he’s a pastor, and he’s an author, of books like The Miracle Ment
