Asger Lindholdt followed an academic path that was paved for him from a young age, completing a Masters in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. within ship coating. When he hit 30, Asger was was fed up. He was sick and tired of looking at a computer screen all day, bored of corporate meetings, and felt like he wasn't making any real difference in people’s lives. For years he struggled to find his true passion. Until he found it - but was too afraid to go for it. He took all the courses and immersed himself in personal development, and finally acted on his dream. Only to discover his real joy lies in helping people shine and express their ideas on a stage, so they can make a bigger difference in the world. He understands first hand how daunting, and overwhelming it can be to take the stage while hundreds of people are looking at you. Today, Asger is proud to say he's helped dozens of individuals, organizations, high-profile speakers, entrepreneurs, academics and TEDx speakers.

PART 2: Mic Tee asks himself big questions - the WHY behind all the pushing, grinding, hustling. And he shares the power of evaluating it all, to really see what matters most in life. 

"When I started chasing the life of no borders and limits, I found myself in a life of borders and limits."  Today's guest is Mic Tee, a Music Executive and Producer originally from Toronto, Canada but seen in studios all over the world. Mic Tee started carving his path in the music biz as a scrappy club DJ/MC in college to then ghost writing and producing submissions for huge named artists (Pharrell, Flo Rida, Pitbull, Lil Wayne – just to name a few). When Mic Tee's music career took off rather quickly, his lifestyle reflected a version of success many strive to achieve. Mic Tee most recently teamed up with a number of his industry colleagues to start an artist development and music education firm, Emtee Education. The company helps artists and labels in developing a strategy to build a long lasting career in music. With a strong focus on the emotional and mental aspect, Emtee Education's main goal is to bring the importance of career sustainability into the forefront.

In this episode Willow and Mic Tee talk candidly about where his love of music began to what really matters in life now after achieving success in the music industry.  We tackle the topics like; the pressures of having to answer 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and how it plays into the hustle culture, and eventual burnout, how not everything is what it seems behind the glossy images and flashy online personas, how asking yourself the big question; ‘Why am I doing this?’ leads to clarity, spirituality and the power of a higher purpose.  By re-evaluating his version of success, Mic Tee reignited the things that actually matter. Like being able to change the world, and making people's lives better.  Listen in to hear all of this and much more!  Follow Mic on IG: @itsmictee Check out his mentorship venture: emteeeducation.com

You know when you meet someone who exudes clarity and confidence in who they are? Sam Morris is that kinda guy. Sam guides men through the healing process and journey to self-love, so they can step into their purpose. His tagline is 'Be a warrior. Don't be at war.™' 

The path that led him to becoming the speaker, conscious leader, and coach he is today - was full of loss, pain, addiction, self-hatred, and depression. 

Sam spent most of his adult life living to the fullest - what he calls 'F*ck It Mode' - but in a very destructive sense. 

Up until Sam was 38 years old he was an alcoholic, in and out of rehab with several DUI’s under his belt, he'd lost his house, destroyed many romantic relationships, lost a lucrative career in real estate, and had cut family ties after he lied to his family to get money to fuel his drug and alcohol addiction. 

It all came to a head 8 years ago, as he sat by himself shaking with fear after a 4 day bender. He could no longer ignore the inner knowing that his life of running and destruction had to end. He called 911 and started his journey of sobriety. This time he was successful in staying sober, as he began to identify childhood traumas and unhelpful patterns that were at the root of the chaos. 

Sam changed his perspective to; 'F*ck It to the FEARS and do it anyways.' He has since worked as a recovery coach, mental health coach, and currently facilitates mens groups to talk about and process the trauma they’ve experienced. The bedrock of it all is aligning with other men who could hold space for him to show emotion and say “I see you.”

Sam is the founder of The Unbreakable Human Collective, an interactive web-based personal development program for men and women wanting to “slay their mental dragons” of depression, anxiety and addiction.

He's the Chief Culture Officer at Five To Flow, a wellness consulting agency designed to help every business find their flow. 

On May 1st Sam is giving his first TEDx Talk on the subject of "Why You Need to Stop Settling for Hope."

Megan Shaylor AKA @entirely_koalaqueen, has built a loyal following on IG by showing up as herself - navigating life through battles with severe anxiety, addiction, single motherhood, codependency, and dating. Megan originally started her IG account to share all things related to her love of the keto diet. But after sharing a bit of her personal struggles with mental health, her audience appreciated the vulnerability and honesty in showing that side of her life. Looking back she realizes how promoting diet culture was a mask for her disordered eating. Megan then decided to start to showing up more authentically online, with a mission to break the stigma surrounding mental health, and having those hard conversations with ourselves that lead to self acceptance. 

Megan says, "I know when I speak my truth, I’m helping another person through their pain - and I connect with them. We’re connecting over the fact that we've all got the same emotions, and feelings, and it’s OK to talk about them. My mission [for showing up online] is so people never have to to feel alone." In the world of influencers and the ideal of perfection, Megan is committed to never being 'unreal' again. Megan speaks about how she's no longer defined by her trauma or any other diagnosis, because it's only a story about her and it doesn't have to be her identity. Megan says, “Authenticity is allowing yourself to be imperfect. I want to be known for being myself. When you’ve lived your whole life not feeling allowed to be yourself - to be complemented for being yourself, is the biggest compliment!" 

Her advice for anyone struggling to show up authentically, is to start doing it because you won’t know what’s on the other side. Get out there and do it, imperfectly.
