We're taught at a young age that it's important to tell the truth, but the truth is, we all lie. We lie to protect others, to protect ourselves, for the rush, or simply to be polite. We tell big lies, small white lies, and omit truths. But what would our life be like if we actually made it a priority to tell the truth boldly and resolutely at all times? As Pauly Ting, founder of Bold&Resolute, says: "It's f***ing scary." On Episode 194 of the Are You Being Real Podcast, Mark and Pauly have one of the most raw and truth-filled conversations ever recorded for the podcast. Pauly gets real about the challenges of running a company based truth and living truthfully in his own life, his divorce, what radical honesty should look like, and how to tell the truth, regardless of your circumstances.

Sometimes, our own logical thoughts paralyze us to the point where we become overwhelmed and don’t take any action.

She has been helping others get familiar with and trust their gut and live more in tune with the deeper spark inside us all.

Franco Acosta is a name you may have heard Mark shoutout at the end of some past episodes. He's the current producer/editor of the Are You Being Real Podcast and a behind-the-scenes ninja on a lot of Mark's projects. But what you don't know is that Franco and Mark met just barely a year ago thanks to some serendipitous events that made their paths cross (or were they? Franco believes there are no such things as coincidences). In this episode, Franco shares what it took for him to finally make the leap and move to Los Angeles to pursue his dream of acting (a goal many in this town can relate to). The lessons and insights he's picked up along the way can be of value to anyone, no matter what goals they have. Past guest Jake Greene said: "Everyone wants to be a part of a great story" and stories like Franco's show us that we all have the potential to be the protagonist of our own great story if we're bold enough to begin it.
