#212 One Of The Most Dangerous Questions You Can Ask Yourself
There’s one question most people avoid, not because it’s hard to answer, but because it’s dangerous...What do you want?Why do we stop dreaming as we get older or after we hit a certain level of success? Somewhere along the way, survival and security take over. Bills pile up. Responsibilities grow. And the fire that once drove us starts to fade under the weight of practicality.We’ll talk about the four levels of WHY — survival, security, pleasure, and purpose — and how to break free from the trap of the first two. Because staying stuck in survival mode kills creativity. Staying stuck in security kills dreams.You’ll hear how overthinking the how is one of the biggest dream killers out there and why you have to learn to believe before you see.The truth?The most powerful dreams are never just about you or your family. They’re about creating something that outlives you.If you’ve been playing small or living on autopilot, this episode is your wake-up call to dream again and to fight for the dreams that still scare you a little.Love This?

#193 Men Are More Than What We Provide with Dejuan Brown
Its Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and no one cares. Seriously. There aren't any social media banners or flags being waved and we know this.

My conversation with Dejuan and his realization of this and more through relationships and therapy is a breath of fresh air I hope will encourage men to realize that our purpose and fulfillment in life goes beyond being useful.
