Kute’s own background and experience lay out the blueprint for his approach to liberating others, setting their gifts and greatness free. Born in Ghana, West Africa, his multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and Ghanaian father, raised in London, and on 4 different continents defies all stereotype.

The son of a revered spiritual leader, Kute was speaking to his fatherʼs congregations, in more than 300 churches, by the age of 8. At the age of 14, he was ordained into his fatherʼs ministry and groomed to carry on the familyʼs spiritual legacy. But his heartʼs truth drew him to separate from his fatherʼs ministry and come to Los Angeles in 1995.

Kute courageously and daringly, came to America with two suitcases, and a dream seeking out many of the spiritual and self-help icons who inspired him when he was still a boy. He quickly learned that the outside- in approach had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own process—a process that liberates the individual at the core. This process helps the individual get in touch with who they really. It is a process of breaking free, so that each person can live, give, and share the truest expression of his or her self. This is what he calls “Liberated Living.”

Scotty Studer is an IT geek (his words, not mine) who, over the course of 18 plus years in his profession, suffered from poor nutrition, too little sleep, and tried over and over again to make positive change, but the stress of work, family life, & plain old day-to-day distractions got in the way of the changes he knew he needed to make.

After finally making the decision to work with a couple coaches who helped show him the way, he started making some real changes across the board. Turns out it was a bunch of little stuff that added up to big results, and that's why he wrote his book "Small Changes Big Results," and I'm glad to have him on the show this week to walk us through some of what he shares in his book.
