Construct Your Life With Austin Linney

EPISODE SUMMARY: What would it take for you to abandon a powerful CEO position, a role you've held for over a decade? Brent Perkins found himself facing this exact question, and his answers led him on a transformative journey of self-love, trust, and authenticity. In a candid conversation, Brent reveals how his relentless pursuit of business success, to the detriment of his personal well-being and family, left him yearning for more meaningful fulfillment. As you listen, you'll uncover the importance of emotional intelligence and self-care in environments often focused solely on profit and loss. You'll get an insight into Brett's inspiring book, "Papercuts: The Art of Self-Delusion", an honest reflection of his personal journey and a testament to his dedication to living his best life, not dictating others'. We also delve into the unexpected challenges of being a CEO, the dynamics of startups versus cash-flowing businesses, and the power of honesty and self-awareness in personal growth. BRENT'S BIO: Brent is the father of two amazing teenage daughters. He spent the first half of his life building a career around achievement, reaching C-Suite status, traveling the world, speaking, launching new technologies and building businesses. After a 7 year journey that led through some dark places, plant medicine journeys and eye opening realizations, it became evident that nothing external was ever going to fill the void. As the reality of divorce after 18 years of marriage sunk in, he began to see the grind for what it truly was, bringing clarity to what really matters in life. Beginning with a divine 'tap on the shoulder', Brent stepped out of corporate America, put everything else on hold and wrote his first book. 90 days later he had found a novel way to relate to the ego (the small “self” in each of us) and bring to light its role in our lives. His casual yet intimate style, woven together with storytelling and poetry, challenges us to wake the 'F' up and step into our agency. To own the power of choice we have each been gifted and start showing up to life with a deep sense of presence.
