17: GUEST: Love Warrior Ric Gressel on Authenticity Amidst Adversity
from The Everyday Awesome Project · host Polly Mertens & Samantha Pruitt
Embark on this motivational exploration with our beautiful friend, Warrior Ric, as we traverse continents and decades together sharing his multicultural passion for human rights advocacy. From a protesting student at Stanford to international model, Ric's transformative journey truly began when faced with an identity in the mirror that he no longer embraced. Choosing to evolve from carefree party boy into fatherhood and community leader, Ric uses Love Warrior attributes to battle both personal and public pain and injustice. Coach Sam and her brother Ric revisit their time together under the World Obstacle Federation project and her visit to his home in South Africa. Their shared sparks for working with humans in personal growth workshops truly sets the room on fire as they escalate what is both true and possible our youth today. Navigating the complexities of societal labels and inequality is a battlefield of its own, but Ric's story is a beacon of resilience. He candidly reflects on the turbulent years that sculpted his Warrior identity and led him to embody authenticity, now inspiring a generation of young leaders (he calls soldiers) to be unbound by past regrets and external definitions. Feel the Warrior Spirit come alive in yourself as Ric imparts his strategies for purposeful living in the toxic digital age, and how to build a values driven family that can weather any storm. Join this week's motivational jam session with change agents Coach Sam and Warrior Ric to ignite your own internal inferno and fuel your next life pivot!
