Finding your passion and purpose in life may take a lot of trial and error. You may have to switch careers or explore opportunities outside of your industry. It requires passion, persistence, resilience, and looking at every negativity as an opportunity to grow. But one thing is for sure – there are no accidents. Instead, all the things you’ve actually done have led you down that path to become exactly what you were intended to be. In today’s episode, Ken Lock, the official Chaplain & Barber of Milwaukee Bucks, shares his journey of discovering his purpose and how he walked into the person he was meant to be. As the visionary of Evolve Church, Ken is passionate about helping millennials find God in our present language. In three years’ time, the church has grown organically and exploded to 1,500 people. Not only the first-ever “chaplain and barber” of an NBA team, but Ken is also the youngest chaplain in NBA history at 29 years old.

Our thoughts lead to our feelings and our actions. But an even more important driver of our actions is the programming that we all have received since we were kids. We’ve been taught to always be careful, that men don’t cry, or that you should “man up” whenever a struggle arises. But how much room do we have left to feel what we truly feel? Today’s guest, Preston Smiles, a coach, a trainer, a speaker, an author, and an influencer, learned to have a bulletproof mindset early in life, having gone through his own share of trauma and shame. But what came out of that is how he leveraged his experiences to teach and coach other people so they can also lean into their own shame, guilt, and trauma – and turn that into an opportunity for them to tap into their own power to amplify their lives. In this episode, Preston shares how we can break free from all this programming, how we can all lean into our own vulnerabilities and tap into our own power. And finally, he shares these seven abundance activators that you should definitely start using now so you, too, can amplify your life! Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: [01:55] Preston’s background [04:43] One of the biggest catalyst moments of his life [06:15] When Preston moved from CA to PA and discovered there was a system [10:03] Discovering he had a heart problem [12:16] The decision to fill his cup and let it overflow [13:29] Elevation requires separation [15:18] How Preston curated his skills [19:18] Operating from a place of consciousness [24:52] The game-changing moment for Preston [33:32] Using your power to amplify your life [35:55] The seven abundance activators [39:26] Getting out of mundane gratitude [41:21] The power of forgiving [45:00] What masculinity is Connecting with the Guest Mpowered Brotherhood: https://www.mpoweredbrotherhood.com/man Website: https://prestonsmiles.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PrestonSmilesSpeaks/ Instagram: ​​https://www.instagram.com/prestonsmiles/ Connect with our growing community: Gobundance:  https://www.gobundance.com/ Apply: https://www.gobundance.com/membership Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gobundance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gobundancegbl/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/GoBundance Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoBundance Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@tribeofmillionaires Not a millionaire yet but want to be a part of our ecosystem?

Serial entrepreneur, Julie Gates, named her short-term rental property company “Sid Was Here” and has no problem embracing her uniqueness. She would rather be odd because that makes her a lot more memorable than just naming her company like any other real estate company in the market. In fact, Julie didn’t just stop there. Applying the long-short strategy, she found her niche in the short-term rental space: targeting startup professionals and travelers. There’s a projected 20% to 30% of millennials in the future that will never sign a lease or buy a home because they are just going to travel from place to place – and Julie has definitely made sure she has the inventory for them!
