You Have Permission to Be Great

Published: Nov. 30, 2023, 1 p.m.

I'm thrilled to kick off the "Permission to be Great" podcast. In this first episode, I share the vision behind the podcast \u2014 a space where you can find weekly motivation and inspiration. I delve into the importance of inspiration, drawing parallels with legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. The podcast's origin story unfolds as I recount a pivotal moment when a mentor, Joel, unleashed the concept of "Permission to be Great" in my life. I clarify the podcast's message, emphasizing its biblical foundation and the pursuit of God's purpose. Biblical verses support the idea that we all have permission to be great. My role is to guide you in recognizing and unlocking that potential. Join me on this journey of motivation, empowerment, and practical insights rooted in my experiences. Subscribe, engage, and remember, you already have permission to be great. Love you guys.
