#71 - Embracing Who You Are: The True Strength of Authenticity

In this week’s episode, I dive into the concept of authenticity and what it means to truly know and show yourself to the world. Inspired by a conversation with a friend at the run club, I reflect on the masks we wear and the personas we create to fit in or meet external expectations. I share my own journey of shedding those masks, including the person I used to pretend to be, and why understanding yourself first is crucial before trying to understand others.

#68 - The Most Important Thing You Must Do as a Man Is to Live by Your Word

Are you living an authentic life? Where in your life are you living out of integrity and not showing up the way you said you would. When you say you are going to do something, you have to stick to that. This is a lesson I have learned since I have moved to this city. People throw their word around so easily, I never understand it. Today I talk about this, about stories in my life and my work from this and draw meaning from it.
