OM DENNE EPISODE
What if the walls holding you back are more like fog than stone? This episode of Mind Over Matter is for anyone stuck in fear, insecurity, or old thinking that outward success hasn't fixed.
Author Michael Muccio shares how teachability, deliberate gratitude, and repeating new truths until they replace old ones helped him move past fear, and why he believes connecting to a greater source makes change possible.
About the Guest:Michael Muccio is a Sarasota, Florida-based author and former corporate hospitality executive who was mentored by Zig Ziglar. He writes from a Christian perspective, and his latest book is the novel Evil's First Breath.
Key Takeaways:- Mental barriers grow stronger when we assume we already have the answers. Stay teachable.
- Practice gratitude on purpose: your next breath, your home, clean water, food.
- Repetition rewires thinking. Say a new truth until it's your first thought each morning.
- Fear takes many forms: failure, success, criticism, ill health. Naming it is the start.
- Real change often comes from connecting to something greater than yourself.
