Episode #40: How To Achieve Life Success Through Auhenticity

Be Real with Vikram Deol

Today's society is littered with fake profiles, an obsession with vanity metrics like retweets and likes, and an overall mindset that moves us further away from being our true, authentic selves. When we go online, we are constantly fed stories of glitz, glamour, and grandeur that, when viewed through an unfiltered lens, foster inferiority and put our goals and aspirations seemingly out of reach.

The problem with most of what you see is that you're only getting the most current chapter of the story. All the sacrifice, all the time invested, all the failed attempts an individual experiences in reaching a state of success doesn't take center stage...when, in reality, it should. Because it's real. It's the real story that built that person.

In today's noisy, constantly-changing environment, standing out requires authenticity. It requires you sharing what makes you tick with the volume turned all the way up. It requires you...being real.

In this episode of Be Real, I am joined by my close friend Jay Jay for a candid discussion about the power of authenticity and what can be accomplished when you bring a sense of realness to the surface in your world. Jay Jay has found success in his life by implementing realistic, authentic approaches in both how he scales his operations AND how he treats his employees. By giving them freedom to flourish and set their own benchmarks, morale in Jay Jay's organization is at an all-time high and engagement is overflowing at every juncture.

We also get into authenticity when it comes to mental health, fitness, and your ability to build meaningful, worthwhile relationships. Without the proper attention to any of these key aspects, life simply isn't as valuable.

If you get something from this conversation, please recommend it to a friend, family member, colleague, or someone who needs some uplifting words of encouragement. You, and they, will be glad you did.
