    Trusting the Detour: How to Keep Going When Everything Changes with Cyrus Mohseni

    What happens when the thing you've built your entire identity around is suddenly taken away? In this powerful episode, WiL Singleton sits down with entrepreneur, real estate leader, former professional athlete, and philanthropist Cyrus Mohseni for a conversation about resilience, purpose, faith, and the mindset required to overcome life's biggest challenges. After losing his father, grandmother, and uncle in the same year as a child, Cyrus learned firsthand what perseverance looked like by watching his mother work six jobs to keep her family afloat. Years later, a devastating car accident abruptly ended his professional soccer career, sending him into a deep identity crisis that forced him to redefine who he was beyond the game. What followed was a remarkable journey of personal growth, entrepreneurship, and service. Today, Cyrus leads one of California's top-performing real estate teams and has dedicated his life to creating impact both in business and through his nonprofit work serving underprivileged youth through soccer. In this episode, WiL and Cyrus discuss: Navigating grief, loss, and life's unexpected detoursWhy failure is often the fastest path to growth The danger of tying your identity to achievement alone How faith, acceptance, and discipline create lasting success Breaking free from limiting beliefs and self-sabotage The power of service as a measure of true wealth Building a life rooted in purpose rather than possessions Why success is about impact, not accoladesCyrus shares powerful insights on overcoming adversity, embracing change, and finding fulfillment beyond external accomplishments. His perspective on success—positively impacting at least one person every day—offers a refreshing reminder that our greatest legacy is often found in the lives we touch. Whether you're facing a major life transition, building a business, pursuing a dream, or searching for greater meaning, this conversation will challenge you to rethink success and inspire you to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles in your path. Key Takeaway: The journey isn't about becoming someone else—it's about discovering who you are, embracing life's challenges, and using your experiences to create impact for others.

    Who Are You Without the Mask? When Shame Meets Grace with Wesley Farnsworth

    What happens when the life everyone sees on the outside doesn't match what's happening on the inside? In this powerful episode of Balance & Breakthroughs, host Wil Singleton sits down with author, speaker, and podcast host Wesley Farnsworth for an honest conversation about faith, identity, addiction, shame, and the courage it takes to live authentically. Growing up as a pastor's kid, Wesley became what he calls a "master chameleon"—someone who learned how to fit in everywhere while slowly losing sight of who he really was. Behind the mask of being the "good Christian," he battled a hidden pornography addiction for nearly two decades, fueled by a deep-rooted need for approval and acceptance. Wesley shares his journey through secrecy, recovery, Celebrate Recovery, and the life-changing moment when he finally confessed what he had been hiding for years. Together, Wil and Wesley explore the difference between symptoms and root issues, why so many people struggle behind masks in both church and everyday life, and how vulnerability becomes the pathway to true freedom. They also discuss: • The dangers of living for other people's approval • Why addiction is often a symptom of deeper wounds • The role confession plays in healing and recovery • The unique struggles men face with authenticity and emotional health • How faith grows when we surrender control • Finding purpose in our pain and turning our mess into a message • Wesley's books The Blueprint of Becoming and When Faith Meets Fire • Why it's never too late to reclaim your identity and start again Whether you're wrestling with addiction, shame, people-pleasing, or simply feeling disconnected from who you truly are, this episode offers hope, practical wisdom, and a reminder that freedom begins the moment we stop hiding. Key Takeaway: You are not defined by your mistakes, your struggles, or the masks you've worn. Healing begins when you're willing to step into the light and embrace the person God created you to be. Listen now and discover what might be waiting for you on the other side of the mask.
