Episode 80 — There’s Infinite Possibility When You Go Into Life Full of Questions and Curiosity —with Jeremy French

When you go into life with an open mind that’s eager to explore and learn, you’re automatically open to more opportunities, insight and an overall more exciting life experience. Through that there’s the ability to find what makes life worthwhile and more rewarding, internally and externally.Jeremy French, a Director and a craftsman at The Whole, had to go through a huge learning experience throughout his young adult years. In high school he began to use substances, resulting in him dropping out twice. Jeremy’s academic experience is unlike many of our podcast guests as he did not attend college, though the philosophical insight and advice he shares from his personal experiences is so profound. When he went to treatment he found many things lacking that he longed for and that he saw many others long for. After leaving treatment and exploring the world more, Jeremy found a passion in people and developed a sense of curiosity. With that sense of curiosity and his personal experience in treatment, he decided to create an environment where men can develop a sense of depth and challenges that stretch them by incorporating his passion for architectural concrete.  On this episode of Success is Subjective, Jeremy joins Joanna to share his story going from a high school dropout with no real passion for life, to a business owner who wakes up eager to bring something meaningful to people. Through Jeremy’s story, it’s evident that his passion is to make an impact on peoples’ lives rather than push them to conform to a way of life. Listen in for Jeremy’s insight on how asking better questions brings a more fulfilling life, which is what Jeremy has found and works to help men find in their own journeys.What You Will LearnThe overwhelming feeling of needing to fit in, causing Jeremy to resort to drugsDropping out of high school twiceThe struggle that Jeremy’s parents experienced because of Jeremy’s decisionsNot going to college is an option!How different treatment was in the 90’s compared to nowHow well Jeremy’s parents have handled parenting Jeremy and dealing with his strugglesThe importance in taking care of yourself to be able to take care of loved ones in the way they needWhat owning a business as a young adult taught Jeremy Shifting from landscaping to architectural concrete and exploring that new worldWhat all has motivated Jeremy in creating his program for menHow much life can provide when you show up curious and ready to ask questionsConnect with Jeremy FrenchMaking WholeMaking Whole on Instagram Making Whole on Facebook Come to Jeremy’s shop and eat lunch with him @ 12:30pm M-F!Shop Address:745 Biltmore AveSuite 001 Lower LevelAsheville NC 28803Connect with Joanna Lilley  Lilley ConsultingLilley Consulting on Instagram Lilley Consulting on Facebook Sponsored by: College Parent Survival NetworkEmail [email protected]
