Mitch Gray Mitch Gray has combined over two decades of experience as a former pastor, life coach, entrepreneur, community developer, and creator to develop a brand of leadership that is at its deepest level- human.  Having worked with over 10,000 leaders and individuals across the world, Mitch empowers people to build teams based on alignment, design culture based on empowerment, and lead from their humanity.  Mitch is the creator and host of The Mitch Gray Show podcast, inspirational speaker, author, and leadership consultant.  You've heard Mitch Gray on the podcast previously on episode 077.  So on today's episode, we get a bit topical and decided to pick a topic and Run With It.  We start with a quote that says “less worship, more understanding”.  From that initial thought, we dive into topics that many people wrestle with from all faith backgrounds and even those with no faith at all.  We discuss practices that can enrich our lives and free us to enjoy it.  And we talk through the concept of the beginner's mind and learning to understand ourselves better instead of constantly reaching outside ourselves for validation.   Side note: Mitch has his own podcast and has now made me co-host.  In that podcast, we  discuss the merging of leadership, business, art, and music.  Our first episode can be found on the Mitch Grey Podcast.   Now let's dive into today's podcast.   https://open.spotify.com/episode/4vtTEFQW4Zfj3SG06cuW0K?si=c4db4cf634ef4233 Connect with Mitch and buy his book here: https://www.mitchgraymedia.com/ _____ Listen to the latest single from Miguel's band Run With It's  release called At Least You Tried here: https://open.spotify.com/track/4EMI0BjyBecX0qydREiWkE?si=113152a6e7ab4c7f ______ To contact Miguel Antonio for feedback or inquiries about the show - email  booking@JustTheMiguel.com Check out Miguel's band Run With It https://Runwithitband.net #liveandcreate podcast is where the host Miguel Antonio (Singer Song-Writer and Entrepreneur) talks to artists and entrepreneurs about what it means to live a great life and create great things.
