We belong in community! Period. Figuring out what those identities that we align with when finding a community will look different for us, and finding that acceptance will help us to be vulnerable, unleash our true potential, and find ways to navigate obstacles that come through life. Regardless of what that may look like through religion, small groups, book clubs, civic organizations, non-profit volunteering, we all have different languages that align us in being able to find our true purpose. In this vulnerable, raw conversation, True Man Life Coaching Founder/Owner Mike Van Pelt shares his story of finding his religion, but how he specifically aligns with helping men that need help the most in becoming open to change on their own terms. Through his own story of self discovery, you can align with our guest's story today and create your own version of becoming connected with your passion & purpose of doing what you were always meant to become.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

If you have ever played truth or dare (any version of it), the consequences of each choice (and its corresponding answer) can be challenging to decide which choice to make. When others then challenge you to act on the choice you make, even though you may be waffling on that choice…do you still act on it, regardless of what happens, or do you hesitate to carry through? Today’s episode “challenges you” to keep your commitment to the choices that you make, even if you feel unsure if it is the best one, to maximize the results and/or lessons learned. By being able to pursue opportunities that challenge our position and help us to keep pushing forward, there are opportunities that open up that we would otherwise not been able to do before.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs

In a world of interconnectivity, finding the right communication medium is truly important to not only help you get your message across effectively, but to help others get to know who you are. The last part, personal connection, is vastly important in the relationships, confidence, and determination that we are building to become huge advocates in our ever-changing, ever-evolving growth, particularly when it comes to the connections that we need to foster. How do we foster them, especially in a variety of challenging situations? Today's guest, author of Text Messages To My Sons, Tammy Cohen, shares how this idea of interconnectivity begins, and how it helped foster a deeper appreciation of not only her family, but with the people she wished to grow with. It is not only about seeking out new ideas and sources of information, but also projecting growth through these activities that foster opportunities for more well-rounded development to occur!
