Hape Motivation Podcast
Hape Motivation is a podcast for people who are committed to growth, but honest about how hard that journey can be.
Hosted by Dray Holland, this show is about leadership, mindset, discipline, self reflection, and learning how to move forward even when life feels heavy. It’s not about perfection or having all the answers. It’s about showing up, choosing yourself, and finding strength in the pause.
Each episode delivers real conversations, personal insights, and grounded motivation designed to help you reset your mindset, build consistency, and lead yourself with intention both personally and professionally.
This podcast is for anyone navigating growth, pressure, change, or transition and looking for clarity, encouragement, and direction along the way.
Because real power isn’t found in constant motion.
It’s found in the pause.

You Are Not Behind
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Hape Motivation, Dray delivers a powerful reminder that you are not behind in life — even if it feels that way.
Social media timelines, societal expectations, and peer milestones can distort your perspective and make you question your progress. But growth is personal, and comparison can cloud your clarity.
Dray unpacks the difference between delay and denial, and why sometimes what feels like a setback is actually preparation. He also shares a personal story about interviewing for a Senior Manager role at Amazon, being turned down, and how six months of unexpected development ultimately prepared him to thrive when the opportunity came back around.
This episode is both reassuring and direct. You are not behind — but you are responsible for movement. Patience is active, not passive.
If you’ve been questioning your timing, your progress, or your pace, this conversation will ground you, challenge you, and remind you that development often happens before visibility.
You are not late.
You are not stuck.
You are being built.
There is power in the pause.
