Today, host, Kevin Lowe, discusses the mixed emotions that often come with celebrating birthdays as adults. He reflects on his own experience leading up to his 37th birthday and how his perspective has shifted over the years.
"Even though life may not be like you thought, that still doesn't mean that it can't be great."While Kevin used to always love celebrating his birthday and made it a month-long event, he has recently found himself feeling less enthusiastic about it. Kevin explores the reasons behind this change and encourages listeners to really think about their own birthdays and how they approach the annual event.

Discover Evans Putman's inspiring journey of transformation! Uncover his pivotal 2001 moment, his transformative 2003 trauma, and the power of forgiveness. Dive into the Servepreneur Movement, helping impact-driven entrepreneurs make a global impact. Let his story inspire you to trust your intuition and embrace life's next chapter.
"If you really listen and take the time to quiet your mind and listen, you yourself know what you're meant to do."Evans Putman shares his transformative journey from a low point in his life to finding his purpose and creating a successful business. In 2001, Evans was at a low point, feeling burnt out and unhappy with his life. One day, he had an intuitive urge to turn his car around and go to an Irish pub, where a stranger recommended a book that changed his life. This book, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman, opened his mind to new possibilities and helped him shift his mindset. A few weeks later, Evans had a dream about his former basketball camp counselor, who passed away shortly after. This dream led Evans to leave everything behind and work with his mentor's brother to continue the camps. This experience transformed Evans and set him on a new path.
In 2003, Evans faced a traumatic event when his father threatened his life and his mother's life with a hammer. This event led to his parents' divorce and brought Evans and his mother closer together. Despite the challenges, Evans found blessings in the experience and used it as an opportunity to become a better person and a more present father to his own daughter.
After achieving financial success in a business partnership, Evans realized he needed to do something more aligned with his purpose. He started teaching other entrepreneurs how to turn their podcasts into sales machines and create a bigger impact. This led him to develop the Infinite Impact Method and launch the Servepreneur Movement, a new way of doing entrepreneurship focused on service and collaboration.

Forget working harder, hustling more, and adopting a new ridiculous morning routine! If you want true success in your life, you need to be doing this!
