My guest today, Michael Tarro Jr., is a good friend of mine from the bodybuilding industry who I was finally able to sit down with for an interview. We've conversed for quite some time through social media, but this was one of the first times we ever actually sat down for a long discussion. It was well worth the wait.

Mike is a Business and Contracts Attorney who resides in Tampa, FL. He is an aspiring bodybuilder with hopes of competing in his first show later this year. He is also the co-host of a massively successful dating podcast called When Sex Happens.

We had a great conversation and I'm glad we were finally able to make it happen. Can't wait for you all to hear it.

Although rejection is something that we will eventually all experience during our lives, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Rejection can be difficult, and is usually never fun. Knowing how to appropriately cope with being rejected and move forward in a positive way are important skills to develop.

Rejection is usually characterized as more of a negative experience. We have a natural human need to want to feel accepted by a person or a group, so when that doesn't work out, we feel hurt. Despite this being a negative experience, we can elect to find the positives in it, which we can then use as action items to move forward.

In today's episode, I share some strategies for how to handle rejection when it inevitably happens, and how to best position yourself to move forward in a positive way.

Today's show was inspired by a conversation I had with my mom a few days ago regarding a series of decisions that I made when I was younger that were infuriating to her at the time. In taking a deeper look at this, my decision-making process earlier on in life was admittedly rather poor. Since then, I have developed a strategy that I implement each time I am required to make an important decision, which I will share with you all.

Additionally, there will always be circumstances in life that we unfortunately will have no control over. However, to prevent your life from descending into complete chaos and disarray, I describe several decisions that you can make on a daily basis that will help give you some feeling of control, even if the world is crashing around you.
