Episode notes

How do we remain open and available to the possibilities that life has to offer us?

It’s a question that we all fight to understand and unravel for our growth and transformation at one point or another. In today's episode, inspirational speaker, bestselling author, and self-help coach Kute Blackson is here to share how he embodies this vulnerability and openness.

"When we dare to follow our soul, when we follow our soul without compromise, I really believe that we will always end up in the right place and we’ll always be guided in the right path even though the route that we take may not be the one we most expect…” (7:22)

When Kute was growing up in Ghana, he was surrounded by the power of spirituality through his father’s role as the head of a collection of churches across the area; by the time he turned 14, he was ordained as a minister and on track to take over his father’s position. Although he has a huge heart for helping and supporting others, he knew his purpose was calling him away from Ghana and from the world he had always known.

“These great people, they all at some point, they surrendered themselves. They surrendered themselves to life. They surrendered themselves to a purpose bigger than themselves… In that surrender, they transcended their own human limitations… and they tap into another dimension of true potentiality, and life was able to use them…” (17:57)

Today, he discusses his journey to Los Angeles, writing his famous book The Magic of Surrender, how we can encourage our growth and transformation, and how he supports others on their unique journeys.

“Each and everyone of us has the power and the control to change ourselves.” (42:05)
