39 - Rick Ornelas : how a miraculous escape from an accident sparked change

Published on: 21st September, 2021

This week I am joined by Rick Ornelas, founder of 'I Spark Change' and author of '12 Hours of Heaven: Lessons for a Better World.' His passion is to serve people and he has been focused on guiding others through self-improvement for many years. Last year, while working to remain in a healthy space himself, he birthed 'I Spark Change' to bring about a way for people to connect and collaborate in creating positive change in our world.

Twenty years ago, from a horrible car accident he and his family miraculously escaped, he began a journey of personal growth and transformation. He worked on himself, his listening and communicating with others, as well as coaching businesses and people to experience their own development. Join me as Rick shares about the path the accident set him on, the way '12 Hours of Change' first came about and his heart for creating 'I Spark Change.'

About the Podcast

Living Fearless Today
Helping men break generational cycles, heal the father wound, and become a better husband and dad.
You swore you'd be a different kind of father than the one who raised you. Then one day you caught his words and tone coming out of your mouth. You felt the same distance creep in at home, and wondered how much of him you're still carrying despite the promise you made to yourself.

Living Fearless Today is a podcast for men who are done repeating the patterns they grew up with. Host Mike Forrester has stood where you're standing. Every week he brings honest conversations and practical tools for the parts of a man's life that rarely get said out loud: the father wound you never named, the anger that shows up with the people you love most, the marriage that's gone quiet, and the man you still want to become.

The show helps you understand the past that shaped you. Then you take an honest look at where you stand today as a husband, a father, and a man. From there you start building the future you actually want, one choice at a time, instead of drifting into the one you were handed and currently living out.

Episodes cover identity, anger, shame, marriage and fatherhood, relationships, self-worth, courage, emotional intelligence, legacy and purpose, and the brotherhood that the vast majority of men are missing. If you've looked for how to break generational cycles, face a father wound, handle anger as a dad, or become a better husband and father, start here.

The cycle can end with you. Press play and take the first step toward becoming the man you needed when you were young.
