There’s no way to TOTALLY prepare and no way to avoid life’s curveballs – so let’s get clear on WHO we want to become in these situations! Our guest Emiliano Acevedo shares from the heart about some recent major challenges – including losing his younger brother and trying to save a failing business. His GRATITUDE and COURAGE in the face of life’s storms is noble, and inspirational. Host Phil Gomez and Emiliano also answer: how to take healthy risks, why a free man has no choices, and how to break through when we are suffering in silence.
