Ep 14: Wanting more of the Addictive Drug Called Validation with Antonio Neves
My man, Antonio Neves joined me in the booth this week! He is an author, host of The Best Thing podcast, internationally recognized speaker, and a success coach. We jumped in by Antonio discussing his current relationship with food and then we dove into life path. He told me about how he traded in a comfortable corporate job at Kraft for couch surfing in NYC with a small amount of money to follow his dreams of being on television. He and I bonded over the beautiful yet addictive drug called validation. He told a great story about if a blue check mark next to your name on social media can actually verify you. We talked about vulnerability and how not everyone deserves to hear your story while I gleefully quoted Brené Brown. Then we dove into Antonio’s newest book, Stop Living Your Life on Auto-Pilot. He dropped a powerful visual on me when he said there should be 3 dates on everyone’s tombstone: the day you were born, the day you gave up, and the day that you die. WOOF! We finished up our time together talking about the always light topic of letting other people down. Needless to say, we got deep and I loved it. Thanks for joining me Antonio!!!
