The Dangerous Addiction to Validation with Cole Rodgers - Episode 280

Episode 280 is about knowing your why.

Knowing your ‘why’ is knowing your purpose. Cole Rodgers, after being addicted to substances turned his life around when he found out his why. He met the right people, read the right books, did the right habits and listened to the right podcast. His ‘why’ was to be a better person for his wife, children and brothers. Cole followed The Man's Ethos and applied it in his life. And a man he truly became. Join us in this episode where we will explore how you can find yours too!
