Welcome back to another episode of the Decent Humans Podcast!

Welcome back to another episode of the Decent Humans Podcast! Today's episode is a good one! We're talking about comfortability and the importance of leaning into the uncomfortable. We have a theory that many people are afraid of the lows so they won't take enough risks which means they'll very rarely experience the highs and end up living in a state of complacency. Do you agree? We believe in a growth mindset and sometimes that means you're going to have to take risks, challenge yourself and yes, that means getting a little (or maybe a lot) uncomfortable. This leads to conversations of holding yourself accountable, turning your failures into wins, asking for help and for anyone that's currently experiencing the lows - you are not alone.

Welcome back to another episode of the Decent Humans Podcast! Please join us in welcoming our next guest, Co-Owner and Creative Director of Elwood, JUSTIN SAUL. Fam, this is a really special episode. Not only does Justin give us an inside look at his road to purchasing and becoming the owner of Elwood but he shares his experience with anxiety and mental health struggles, even amidst success. Justin shines a light on therapy and how important it is to celebrate and talk about the wins as much as the losses and about building a solid foundation by believing in yourself and your vision, but also your team and the people you surround yourself with. Episodes like this, and people like Justin are important because so many of us deal with our own struggles below the surface that no one ever knows about.

Welcome back to another episode of the Decent Humans Podcast! We have a very important question. Critiques, criticism and constructive criticism. Are they the same thing? Is the difference between them the intent behind the feedback? How do you internalize someone's criticism? How do you receive someone's critiques? Taking it even further, who you surround yourself matters - how often do we re-evaluate who we allow into our inner circle? Are they adding to your life in a positive way? We dive in and discuss each topics and share our insights on the ways each of us handles and copes with being on the receiving end of negative (and positive) feedback.
