Mr. Malibu

From the sun-drenched sands of California's Malibu Beach to a near-miraculous rebirth, "Mr. Malibu" is an autobiographical story of being born in paradise with blessings beyond anyone's wildest dreams including a radical learning ability, intensely creative imagination, and near photographic memory. The author, a son of the world famous Malibu Colony, grew up amidst stars with giant global impact and a super wealthy peer group that instilled a deep yearning for "success." The adventure of being a child-in-paradise, steeped in an exciting culture of sun, sand and surfing, evolved into the ultimate internal challenge which felt life-threatening: how to navigate through the weight of being judged for what he didn't have instead of what he did have. With crushing feelings of being "less than" most of his much wealthier friends and battling the biological and psychological disposition of excess alcohol use, he experienced an epiphany that would change the course of his life and that of many others: Extreme wealth and fame were ethereal, hollow gods, and the entertainment industry's "celebrity game" was a vacuous paradigm destined for obsolescence. Becoming arguably the world's top expert of best selling author Og Mandino's affirmations by way of memorizing them and speaking them out loud every day for 11 years, he realized why they didn't work. He then evolved his own positive affirmations that take them to another dimension. He ultimately created the popular "Mr. Malibu" personality, which now engages celebrities and popular figures in conversations that lead to positive changes across the globe.
