What happens when life throws you an unexpected curveball, and you’re forced to redefine your path completely? Join us as we sit down with Keith Hale, a remarkable figure who transitioned from a football injury to becoming a bestselling author, life and health coach, and one of Orange County's leading real estate developers. Keith's raw and honest recounting of his journey through the highs and lows of the industry, especially during the tumultuous 2008 market crash, and his move to Newport Beach provides a heartfelt examination of authenticity in a pretentious business world. His candid discussion about his battle with depression and contemplation of suicide offers a powerful message of hope and resilience for anyone facing similar adversities.

In our conversation, we peel back the layers of Keith's transformative experiences, from a challenging childhood as a special education student to his relentless work ethic that led to both success and burnout. We delve into his frustration with traditional talk therapy, which motivated him to write "Embracing Vulnerability: 10 Steps to an Authentic Life," a book filled with actionable steps for personal growth. Keith shares the critical lessons learned from notable figures like Brian Smith, the founder of UGG, and emphasizes the importance of faith, giving credit, and addressing the critical issue of suicide among men. Tune in to discover how Keith's mission to help others through life coaching and his book can inspire you to turn your pain into passion and live a truly authentic life.
