A Must in Your Podcast Library

Jesse is a phenomenal life coach and speaker. He brings to light topics which are applicable to everyone’s life. His mission is to give people the tools they need to make their lives the best they can be.

WARNING Show May Cause Deep Feelings!!

I have just had the pleasure of being a guest on Jesse’s show. And I can’t put the experience into words that will do it justice but I’ll try.

#1. Jesse leads the podcast with a deep level of respect, authenticity, and intuitive conversation.

#2. Jesse summarizes the message and then highlights the most profound point that needs to be repeated. I’ve know that Jesse was a true speaker as evidenced by his Ted Talks, but what is equally if not more important is how well he listens!

#3. This is not a typical podcast because Jesse attunes so well to his guest and is willing to go to the depths of the deepest questions. Time is not spent on the surface.

I would have to say, if you are thinking about being a guest on A Handful or Hope, don’t think any longer. This is a great stop to make.

The entire premise of the show coming during a time when our planet needs hope, and Jesse’s willingness to let go of prior attachments to his idea of his future, and give freely, demonstrates the type of leadership our world needs. And that is what Jesse is: a true Leader.

For listeners, the first two episodes I listened to were amazing: Episode 76 with Charles Byrd (describing actionable steps to cultivate the most important asset to pursuing ones dream relationships), and Episode 65 with Seth Streeter (on redefining the meaning of wealth literally had me tearing up while driving...maybe there should have been a warning that these episodes may cause you to feel deeply!).

An inspiration

It’s wonderful what Garret is doing with his life after the hardships he gone through, what a gift of self to give to others like that. I find it very inspiring. Thanks for sharing this.
