Are you feeling stuck in life, like a pumpkin in a jar? You’re not alone. Many people suffer from a “mistaken identity”, not realizing their true potential or the power of their own dreams. This week on Insight Out, Doug Dane is here to show us how to use the Mistaken Identity Model to get self-discovery, freedom, and success. He's been able to beat the odds and find success in his own life, despite the trauma of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse he experienced as a child. He will share how to break free from limiting beliefs to discover his true self and how he transformed his life, breaking free from the oppressive jar of his past and inspiring others to do the same. Through the stories of Gandhi, mentors, and books like Think and Grow Rich, Doug was inspired to take control of his life and find who he truly was. He faced his fears and story and through this, discovered his purpose. This journey taught him that everyone has a special gift and that one can change their story and the world.
Meet Doug Dane, Doug is the author of Mistaken Identity, a mentor for leadership, business, and mindset. Doug has spent over 25 years coaching people to improve their results and feel better about themselves so they can stop hiding and start living. He's on a mission to show people how to let go of their past so they can create a better life for themselves, their families, and the world.
Have you ever grappled with attaining self-realization, autonomy, and success? Then this episode is for you. Tune in now to uncover the power of transformation!

How can we shift our thinking in order to break a pattern? And how can we take positive action to make transformative changes in our lives?
That’s the focus of Scott Miller’s new book, “Master Mentors Vol. 2.” It examines key insights from 30 of the world’s most transformational leadership thinkers – including Seth Godin, Susan Cain, General Stanley McChrystal and more – and provides simple steps to implement the same insights in your own life.
In today’s episode, Scott joins me to talk about the most valuable lessons he’s learned from his own mentor, the concept of transformational insight, the subtle nuances between self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence, why vulnerability is a key element of leadership, and more.
“I think the power of transformation has the power for you to see yourself differently. It has the power for you to challenge your paradigm, your mindset, your belief system, to say, gosh, I always thought about gratitude in this way, but now I'm gonna think about gratitude in this way. Or I thought about what's next for me or my business model. They're personal and professional. I think it's really intended to help kind of shake you to say you've been in this pattern of thinking this line of behavior and just shaking a little bit to say, is that serving you well? Is that serving those around you?” – Scott (06:03)

Who do you look up to the most? Is it a superhero from a comic book, a famous athlete, or a historical figure? We often forget the everyday heroes who quietly make a big impact on our lives. Our dads, the real-life heroes in our families, shape who we become, teach us important values, and help us navigate life's twists and turns.

In our conversation, Paul shares powerful stories about the impact his parents had on his life, shaping his core values of growth, impact, courage, authenticity, and belief. He discusses his father's influence on his students and his mother's courage in the face of adversity. Paul also talks about his journey from a successful sports manager to a more authentic self, acknowledging the role of his executive coach, Suzanne, in this transformation. He introduces the "head heart hands equation" for decision-making and discusses the importance of personalizing and internalizing values.
