Personal development is everlasting. No matter how old we get in life, there will always be something in us that wants to grow and better itself. One thing that has stayed constant in our own personal development, is pain. For most of us, we see pain as something that is more of a hindrance rather than something we can utilize. It’s not often that conversations around pain in the mainstream are so open and free of judgment, so my guest today is a true testament to the encouragement of healthy struggle.  

Joining me today is the Toronto born Actor with a passion for personal growth, Danso Gordon! Danso has not only landed roles in major commercials (the Superbowl) and blockbuster films (American History X), he is also one of the Founders of ‘Tape Squad’, a company dedicated to helping actors streamline the process of ‘self-taping’. 

Coincidentally, ‘Tape Squad’ launched exactly when Covid-19 hit, so their services have never been more needed! We discuss why Danso was inspired to create his company, what the true value of having wealth is, and why we should ask ourselves what pain is trying to teach us rather than push it away or ignore it. Danso has some wonderful insights relating to both personal and spiritual development that could definitely come in handy later down the track.
