Have you ever contemplated your gifting's or abilities? Have you ever been frustrated with people or celebrities that seem to resent their own ability and success? Well we chose to view this as an opportunity to pick apart this frustration and turn it into an encouraging conversation about embracing what we're good at so we can uplift others and include them as equal value contributors in this life we all share. Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

Give it a listen, send us your comments, and head over to Inception of Wonder to check out Erik's podcast too.
