Episode 2 - Mark Johnson

Today we dive into a conversation with Mark Johnson, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, mover, and yogi that has developed the important habit of not just listening to himself, but saying yes to himself; of acting on the dreams and yearnings that come from within.  Mark is the owner of West Side Jiu Jitsu and co-owner of Higher Ground Hot Yoga, both businesses located in Ogden Utah.  He's also a writer, and we discuss his book, 'Hug It, A Year Without Fear' and the lessons he learned from his year of 'saying yes' to opportunities presented to him.  I really enjoyed this sit-down with Mark, and am grateful he shared his perspectives on moving, gratitude, taking action, and saying yes.  Give a download and listen to this episode if you're searching for inspiration on how to take advantage of the everyday opportunities that life puts in front of us.   You can find Mark Johnson on social media here: Instagram: @markwestsidejohnson [https://www.instagram.com/markwestsidejohnson/?hl=en] Mark's book, 'Hug It: A Year Without Fear' can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Hug-Year-Without-Mark-Johnson-ebook/dp/B01N6RQPRG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XZC402X3T49K&keywords=hug+it+a+year+without+fear&qid=1653972807&sprefix=hug+it+a+year+without+fea%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-1 [https://www.amazon.com/Hug-Year-Without-Mark-Johnson-ebook/dp/B01N6RQPRG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1XZC402X3T49K&keywords=hug+it+a+year+without+fear&qid=1653972807&sprefix=hug+it+a+year+without+fea%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-1] Jiu Jitsu Studio: West Side Jiu-Jitsu Academy [https://www.facebook.com/WestSideJiuJitsuAcademy] Yoga Studio: Higher Ground Hot Yoga [https://highergroundhotyoga.com/] Thanks for listening!  Please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review for the podcast, it goes a long ways towards showing me that the sharing of these conversations is having a good impact.
