Do you live in the 1st or the 3rd Person? (Pt. 2 of 2) with Justin Bennardo

In part two of this lively and passionate episode, you'll hear Justin continue his real-life text bombs on:

Differentiating transparency and honesty
Thriving BECAUSE of the hardships you face, not IN SPITE of them, like the Blues musicians of the 1930s
Doing right by your natural talents instead of curating an image of success
Considering both sides to all things and living your life in the balance

We neatly wrap up the episode talking about finality, and how it can give us the perspective we need to give life meaning.
