Founder’s Health as a Business Asset: Grief, Vulnerability and Healing with Mike Murphy
We call it grit, hustle, “handling it.” For many men who build things, it is also a way of never putting themselves on their own list. On Mind Over Masculinity, host Sana talks with founder and author Mike Murphy about what finally changed that for him. Mike shares how losing his wife Margot broke him open and taught him vulnerability, why he turned grief into giving, and why loving yourself is the start of changing your life. About the Guest: Mike Murphy spent decades building and running car dealerships before founding Mountains of Hope, a healing center near Medellín, Colombia. He is the author of Love Unfiltered and The Creation Frequency. Key Takeaways: Powering through can become a way of never caring for yourself. Grief can break down defenses and make room for real vulnerability. Turning pain into service can give loss a new meaning. You can’t help everyone, but you can make a difference for one. Look inward honestly, accept who you are, then love who you are. You are not a victim; change what you think, do and feel.
