"Playing a part in my community" - Marcus Hood
Marcus is the founder and creator of RelativeVisionTv & Media, where he gets to live out his passion as a Director, videographer, photographer, and journalist. Marcus believes there is so much more to share and show the world than the limits the current media networks provide. A lot of this is rooted in his desire to leave a legacy for his son and his community. He believes playing your part in your company and making a positive impact is what the game of life is all about. Ironically though, the way you can most effectively play a part in your community and help others, is by focusing on yourself first.
As Marcus explained it throughout the episode, you have to have self confidence and clarity about who you are before you can even begin to think about navigating the world around you. There is way too much fear, bias, insecurity, anxiety, propaganda, and hate in the world to ever be able to make a positive impact if you don't start by figuring out your self. So we spent a lot of the discussion probing and exploring how you can figure yourself out. Not in a gimmicky, 5-step approach or anything like that, but a much messier, realistic way. We leaned into the challenges and tried to find useful approaches to TRY to do this work. That is an important distinction, because at best we are all trying to do this work and figure it out. We never get the luxury of feeling like we've finished the job.
The other aspect of this conversation I really appreciated was Marcus' humility and openness. We all have our own beliefs and preferences on what we think is best, but Marcus is very careful to never allows himself to think he knows better than anyone else. Some people believe in God, some people don't. Some people want to make as much money as they can to have nice things, some people want a simple life focused on family. Some people love meditating on the beach, some people love being out in a big city surrounded by people. Marcus understands each of us has our own path to happiness and wellness, so he does not judge anyone. He just hopes each of us continues our work down that path because that is the way we heal the world.
