Purpose Driven Show

Us guys are at an inflection point and I’m grateful that Ted is helping men step into this moment and be thoughtful on how we wish to move forward.

First listen

Ted congrats on the Canvas Rebel feature. Good stuff! That was the first thing I saw when I opened LinkedIn then I thought “Dang I forgot to give him feedback on the podcast episode I listened to”. It’s not as fresh on my mind right now, but I do remember a few things that stood out. • You’re well spoken and easy to understand • The guest (don’t remember his name) had a great story of how he took an injury from that skiing accident, saw a need and filled it. If I remember he also talked about using women’s makeup to cover up acne when he was younger. That hit close to home because growing up I had terrible acne and did the same thing lol. “I really hope none of my boys notice” Lol. • Y’all went into being different and standing out which I’m 100% all about, hence why I wear scrubs being in Tech sales. Why? BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE IS DOING IT! It was a great episode and I’ll definitely listen to more and keep my eyes out for new episodes. If I can be of help in anyway, don’t hesitate to reach out. 👍🏽

Relatable

I’m so glad I discovered this podcast. As a husband and relatively new father in my early thirties I relate so much to the topics discussed in the podcast. Not only does it help me realize that others out there deal with the same things I do but the guests have many great tips and quotes to overcome them. This podcast helps me clear my mind and focus on what I can do to be the absolute best husband and father that I can be.
