We All Go Forward
We All Go Forward is a podcast about self-leadership through setbacks. Simply put, setbacks are undesirable, unexpected outcomes. They’re inevitable. Some are truly negative experiences. Others, though initially perceived as such, become welcomed (necessary, even) experiences once viewed from the right vantage point. Regardless of their nature, the only way through any setback is through it. When setbacks render us stagnant while life around us continues to move, we feel resistance & fatigue. If we glean the lessons, wisdoms, and clarity hard moments afford us, we’ll be set back—but only in preparation to be catapulted forward into a more progressed, developed version of self. This podcast will help listeners learn & practice self-leadership in order to maintain a forward trajectory through life's setbacks. It will teach us how to overcome inconvenience in a timely, beneficial manner. Furthermore, we will learn that as we move in the right direction (that is, forward and progressing, never stagnant), we become a resource to help others move in the right direction, and the cycle continues— but only if we move. Remember: If you go, and I go, then we all go…FORWARD. Let’s get moving!
