On Rural Communities, The Voice Inside & Cultivating Authenticity with Orlando Dobbin

This is an episode with a super fan, and my dear friend, Orlando. He shares his passion for rural communities and how they've shaped him into the human he is today. Orlando brings an informed perspective on small towns that sheds light on the beauty and magic these communities possess. He dives into why he's felt drawn to them most of his life, even during his travels abroad, as well as the lessons he's learned about himself and the world around him. Orlando talks to us about his experience as a Black man in the U.S. and sorting through what this part of his identity means when it is reflected back to himself. He opens up about his time volunteering in South Africa and coming to terms with the challenging moments therein. This conversation delves into what we are all after: discovering parts of self that peel back the layers of who we really are. We're all in search of self-actualization and at the heart of the matter, the community around us informs this journey. You'll enjoy this episode if you have ever pondered: Who am I? Who do I want to be? What's my purpose?
