Resist Average Academy | Tommy Baker

In this engaging and riveting episode, I welcome none other than Preston Smiles -- author, speaker, coach and content wizard whose message is to empower, inspire and ignite a multi-generational movement of radical growth through conscious, creative content, acts of love and living boldly. Preston believes we’re here to leave the planet better than we found it, and is committed to motivating others to join him on that mission, and live their best life now. He recently released a new book with his wife, Alexi Panos, titled “Now Or Never” which is available everywhere where books are sold now!  During this full length episode, we discuss Preston’s mission, where we’ve gone wrong (and how to fix it), using and engaging the power of “first thought”, why life is always on the way and not in the way, creating a power couple dynamic, leading from the heart and everything in between. We’d love to hear your big takeaway from this episode, tag Preston and I on social media and let us know what you got this conversation.
