Who Says You Can't?

Bearded Wisdom with Les McDaniel

Would you risk abandoning your true self just to be accepted by others? How much of your true desires and beliefs are you willing to give up just to fit the perfect mold of who "society" wants you to be?

In today's episode, Les breaks down what it means to be a leader and a follower. This episode is perfect for people unsure of how to live a bold and uncompromising life, free of external influence.

As the year comes to a close, ask yourself, are you living true to yourself or blindly following the people in front of you just because they're ahead? Use your answers to plan for 2023 and create a future you would be proud of.
