I was lucky enough to have just been a guest on Fearless Happyness with Max where I had the chance to talk about about addictions drastically altered my ability to create. Speaking with Max gave me a chance to recall and discuss an almost forgotten life that I once lived that now looking back I can see shaped me into the person I am today: a strong, intelligent, and passionate artist and businessman owner. I had a blast chatting because Max was engaging, open minded, and extremely thoughtful. His own story weaved in perfectly with mine and likely many others guests! Highly recommend to give this a listen if you or anyone you know has struggled with any trauma, substance abuse, or general hardships over there lives! Very encouraging and uplifting!

I had the great honor of being interviewed by Max Nijst for Fearless Happyness. We spoke about my award-winning memoir, Karma and Kismet — A Spiritual Quest Across Continents, Cultures, and Consciousness. Max is a wonderful host — upbeat, relaxed, insightful, compassionate — a companion with genuine humility and empathy born of his own suffering and the life lessons he’s gleaned on the way. Thank you for the good company, Max!

Max has an exceptional way of putting guests at ease to tell their unique stories of overcoming the obstacles to personal freedom and happiness. I enjoyed being a guest on this show and Max’s insights into trauma, and unpacking religious trauma, specifically, to become more true and authentic.

I enjoyed listening to this podcast and I learned new ways to care for myself!! Highly recommend!

Max channels his authentic self and encourages his guests and listeners to do the same! Max brings on fantastic guests that share their stories in such a way that listeners can relate and gain tons of value!!

As for the podcast, Max has a variety of guests with different situations and challenges they have overcome their lifetime. It’s filled with valuable advice and ways to succeed. if you’ve listen to his story and read his book, you can see that Max has overcome prison, addiction , being left with nothing, And then he is crawled back from rock-bottom. Which makes him a good person to be able to help you with anything from building your business to overcoming your addictions. Since he’s made his lifes work as an addiction, counselor and coach. As for me personally Max has been there when I’ve been in my darkest place. He has always been available to talk to me and work with me when I was overcoming my own alcoholism and my past addiction to prescription medication. People tend to retreat and battle these things alone. Max was the one person that always checked in with me when there would be radio silence and even if I was snippy with him, he was kind, and comes from a place of love, and truly understanding and wanting to help. And so for that, I can call Max a great friend as well. Highly recommend you work with him.

Max tells it like it is and makes you think and creates inspiration!

Great message and Max is just the man to bring it to the world.

What an amazing podcast.. Max is the real deal and these episodes are very inspiring and motivating

Max is a stand up guy. After overcoming obstacles in his life, he is now using his podcast and books to make an impact for others in their lives. I would highly recommend his podcast to anyone going through obstacles and needing to have the right mindset to overcome.

Max brings it every episode. His life experience mixed with awesome guests, is really such a great listen. I would always suggest listening to this show!!

Thank you Max and your awesome guest Anthony Sabatino in the episode discussing Emotional Intelligence. I, too, Max was taking copious notes (those Golden Nuggets) and let me tell you that the Negative Self Talk that I had for 35 years, I named him 'Oscar the Grouch' would emerge and constantly tell me I couldn't do things because of my stutter. Cut to age 40 when I embraced my stutter, I shut Oscar down and I began to live a purposeful life because what your guest said was true, "God does put people in your life for a reason" and that is why I'm still here and averted from my suicide attempt because the darkness was too much. God put a person in my path and my darkness turned to light. Thank you MAX for this amazing episode and your podcast.

Max is a great host and wonderfully tackles difficult topics. His story is inspirational!

Max is an inspiring person. I love that he turned his life around. He was on a destructive path and then found a way to come up from the ashes. I had read his book and am excited to see how he created a good life out of something that was a dead end. I just heard about the Podcast and started listening. Great stuff! Inspiring. Keep it up Max!

I discovered Max last year on Facebook and was drawn by his humility and drive to be a light for others. Hearing his story on the first episode showed me that we have both lost many family members and overcame the hardships. Max is an inspiration and if you struggle with addiction or in recovery now, then you’ll want to subscribe and keep him in your corner.
