Make Space for Your Inner Lamb - Building Better Humans

Sometimes you have to be a lion, so you can be the lamb you really are. What does comedian Dave Chappelle's powerful Mark Twain Award acceptance speech reveal about authenticity? In this week's episode, host Glenn Azar breaks down a pivotal quote and shares his own journey to self-acceptance.

00:45 - Dave Chappelle's reverence for comedy as an art form that allows us to be heard
02:30 - The story behind Dave's powerful metaphor about protecting your inner "lamb"
05:15 - How Glenn masked his true self growing up and felt pressure from his dad to "toughen up"
07:00 - The struggle many of us face "trying to become someone just so we can eventually be ourselves"
09:45 - Learning to stop performing and just be real
12:30 - Recognizing that everyone is walking around hoping someone understands them

This inspiring episode is a reminder that your sensitivity and emotional depth are strengths, not weaknesses. If you've ever felt you were "too much," listen in as Glenn explains why you might just need to be a lion for a little while to protect the lamb that you really are.
