    In this "Lessons" episode, Kute Blackson, CEO of Blackson Group, shares profound insights on discovering your true purpose, breaking free from societal conditioning, and living a life of authenticity and fulfillment. Learn about the spiritual and practical approaches to understanding your path and how to navigate life's challenges with clarity and intention.

    Discovering True Purpose: Stop seeking your purpose and start recognizing that you are a soul having a human experience. Life is a school for your soul's growth and evolution, and your true purpose is to learn, grow, and become your most authentic self.

    Living with Authenticity: Move in the direction of what lights you up and brings you joy. Your purpose is not defined by what you do but by your growth and evolution in any role or situation you find yourself in.

    Follow Your Soul's Nudge: Trust the intelligence of your soul. Take steps toward what feels right, and allow your journey to unfold organically, leading you to a purpose-driven and fulfilling life.

Raw and Real

Really like listening to Scott’s podcast as it comes across very authentic, raw and real.

Dan Grech ,

Scott is a great human (and an even better podcaster)

I met Scott at a gathering of top entrepreneurs and business owners, and I was taken by his openness and willingness to teach and support other entrepreneurs like me. I dove into his podcast and learned from Scott and some of the best business minds who share their moments of failure and lessons for success. This has my highest recommendation for anyone interested in learning how to run a better business owner
