Just A Guy
People are interesting, inspiring, and incredible.
People are also just people.
I'm just a guy learning to be more than I currently am. In this journey I have rubbed shoulders with people making millions, who have large social media followings, have achieved renowned accolades, and have a family every parent dreams of. As I meet and listen to these people, one lesson has stuck with me as I walk away.... people are just people. They are just like me. They have no other innate abilities or skills that I don't have the capability to develop. The difference is that they choose differently than me.
This podcast is my efforts to connect myself and others with other inspiring human beings. For us to learn how they have gotten to where they are and to see that really, they are still just another person. A person you can also become.
