100% BS Solo Episode! I've been on a wild ride since May and I am here to share a bit about that journey. I did the thing... Quit my full-time job to go ALL IN on my dreams and work for myself. It has been an amazing time, full of ups and downs, and plenty of dark patches that showed me the shadows I needed to face. So let me tell you...

Quitting your job and forging your own path is nothing short of a spiritual adventure.

Hear about my decision to quit, what I've been doing since, the real deal about financial struggles and the psychology of betting on yourself, and where I'm headed!

Themes:

• What you should know before you take a leap
• The psychology of betting on yourself
• What happens when you tie your worth to your income
• Following your purpose
• Awakening to your true desires
• The consequence of forging your own path
•

We covered so much in one hour that it was hard to give the episode a title! This was a much-needed conversation about reclaiming what is worthy of admiration and how to move forward in times of disempowerment and collective disillusionment. Alex brings palpable passion to the subject of masculinity, healthy skepticism, and understanding your true nature.
