Mckenna is an author, podcaster, DJ, personal development coach, fashion enthusiast, and overall creative. She brought some super interesting, thought provoking points to this conversation. She started with "faith" as her value, which has come up before so I was a little worried the conversation might be redundant. I was wrong. Mckenna had a very specific view of why "faith" is so valuable in her life. Mckenna thought of faith in the very literal sense, that having a deep belief that you can achieve something is critical to being successful in life. She brought a psychology background to the conversation so she explained how she believes our subconscious minds are so focused on keeping us safe and comfortable; therefore we need to have deep faith in ourselves to overcome that and thrive in life.

What made this conversation even more impactful for me was Mckenna also has a traditional belief in "faith" as well (i.e., believing in a higher power/God that created everything). So we went on a logical exploration to understand how the two types of faith she referred to are connected and how they might impact our lives. I don't want to understate the "logical exploration" point. You will hear it in our voices as we go through the conversation, we were both learning, thinking, and questioning all of it, live, as we had the discussion. Sometimes I worry when I question too much it might come off as offensive and derail the conversation, but that was not a concern with Mckenna. We both seem to be cut from the same cloth in wanting to learn as much as we can, with very little concern about ego or preconceived beliefs. 

I know this podcast process is a long journey. I know (or hope) it will evolve and improve as I do more of them. This conversation with Mckenna gave me a lot of confidence that it is on the right track. If I can have discussions like this, with people like Mckenna, on a regular basis then I think I am doing something right in life. Thanks as always for listening and I really hope you enjoy it.
