The Empowered Series

Why did you begin? When you were ready to give up, why didn’t you? What is your biggest fear and what is your most powerful inspiration? The Empowered Series pulls the curtain back on the processes and lives of the creators, leaders, and thinkers who are currently making a difference by creating something new and asking the hard questions. Grab a cup of tea or open a bottle of wine and join me as I sit down with some of the most fascinating people I know who serve as a great source of inspiration for me. Together, we will dive in and talk about the lessons they’ve learned, the tools that continue to serve them, and be reminded that we too have the ability to hold space and reach heights unknown. Hosted by Ryan James Monroe. Music by Alec Michael Ryan. Cover Art by Maddie Franke.
