On this week’s episode of Journey to Authenticity, I’m joined by a very special guest—my wife, Maeghan Belnap. Together, we open up about a topic that affects so many of us: the way we often waste or take time for granted without even realizing it. Life moves fast, and it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, only to look back wishing we had been more present in the moments that truly matter.

In this heartfelt conversation, Maeghan and I share our own experiences—moments we wish we had slowed down for, times we wish we had savored more deeply—and the lessons we’ve learned along the way. We also talk about the tools and daily practices we use to stay grounded, intentional, and present in our lives today.

This episode isn’t just a reminder to cherish time; it’s an invitation to shift your perspective and embrace the gift of being present. Whether you’re a parent, a spouse, or simply someone striving to live more fully, we hope our journey encourages you to stop letting time slip by and start living with purpose, gratitude, and awareness.

Join Braiden Belnap on this week’s episode of Journey to Authenticity as he sits down with the remarkable Kenneth Scott.

Kenneth is a former University of Utah standout wide receiver whose career is defined by perseverance. After facing serious injuries, he refused to quit, returning to the field to become team captain and a leader who inspired everyone around him.

His journey is about more than football. It is about resilience, passion, and the relentless pursuit of goals one step at a time. In this conversation, we explore his family roots, the values that shaped his mindset, and the obstacles he overcame to earn two degrees in human development, family studies, and economics.

Kenneth’s story is a reminder that authenticity is not something we stumble upon. It is something we build through commitment, vulnerability, and staying true to who we are.

He opens up about what it means to live authentically, how to grow on your own terms, and how to find purpose in both victory and challenge.

This episode feels like sitting down with an old friend—honest, uplifting, and full of wisdom. Tune in and let Kenneth’s journey inspire your own path toward authenticity and courage.

In this heartfelt episode of Journey to Authenticity, I sit down with my wife Maeghan for a meaningful conversation about something we often overlook—using your birthday as a powerful opportunity to reflect, reset, and realign with your purpose. Birthdays are not just about getting older. They are about growth, gratitude, and starting fresh.

Together, we explore how to shift the way we view birthdays. Instead of only celebrating with cake and gifts, what if we used the day to look back on everything we have overcome, the lessons we have learned, and the ways we have grown? What if we asked ourselves where we want to go from here?

We share our own reflections and how we have started using this personal milestone to let go of old patterns, set new intentions, and step into the next chapter with clarity and intention. Whether you are about to celebrate your birthday or simply need a reason to begin again, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to pause, look inward, and embrace the beauty of starting over.

Your story is still being written. Let this be your reminder that it is never too late to begin again with purpose, with vision, and with heart.

What if the questions you ask yourself could completely change your life? Too often we let what if spiral into fear and negativity. What if I fail? What if I am not good enough? What if I cannot change? But what if we flipped those questions and used them as fuel to move closer to our goals and the life we actually want?

In this episode I share how asking the right what ifs helped me transform my own life. I open up about my journey of breaking free from drugs, making destructive choices, and surrounding myself with people who pulled me further from the person I wanted to be. It was not easy to walk away from that life but learning to reframe my thoughts changed everything.

By changing the way we ask questions we can shift from fear to possibility. Instead of letting what if hold you back you can use it to imagine what is possible. What if I succeed? What if I build a life I love? What if this challenge becomes the turning point? Join me as I share tools and insights to help you create real change.

In this episode of Journey to Authenticity, I sit down with Tim for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation that touches on personal growth, self-expression, and the evolving ways we share our stories in today’s world.

Tim opens up about his journey into law and the personal experiences that shaped his desire to make a difference. He shares what it was like navigating law school and post-graduate life while staying grounded in his values. One of the most powerful parts of our conversation centers around what it means to truly be yourself in high-pressure environments like the courtroom. Tim explains how he learned that you do not need to put on a performance to be effective. Authenticity can be your greatest strength.

We also dive into his growing interest in artificial intelligence and how it is changing the way people tell stories, advocate for others, and connect with the world around them. Tim has a passion for helping people overcome mental blocks and believes in creating environments where others feel safe enough to open up and be real.

This episode is full of practical wisdom and honest reflections. Whether you are navigating your own professional path, dealing with self-doubt, or searching for a deeper sense of purpose, Tim’s insights will challenge and encourage you.
