James Kinney {on removing the guru}

Be Amplified

In this week's conversation we break down the difference between idolization and inspiration. In a culture where we long for a "guru" to tell us everything we need to know in life, we have to drawl boundaries so we can harness our own internal guiding system. We also bring on James Kinney to talk about his path in life to becoming a U.S. President! About The Guest James N.

A former Wall St sales executive and law firm marketer turn advocate for a better workplace, Kinney is the survivor of agoraphobia, depression and a nearly fatal car crash that forced him to learn how to walk again.

Top Three Takeaways If you want to be seen as a leader, you first have to act like one. Sit with what you truly want instead of looking at other people's lives. What you see in others... you can only see it because you have that within you. Links You'll Love Join our #BeAmplified free online community! We got amazing events coming up! Join us.
