Hi I am Kellen Roland and this is my show. I am 36 years old and have found a way to be successful in this world. Growing up bi racial in government housing the odds were stacked against me. In this show I share the stories and lessons that helped me break through. My goal is to help you break through whatever obstacle is in front of you. Wrapped in these stories there will be good times, laughter, coffee, Lakers and downright silliness. If you aren't having fun you won't find the fuel to do what it takes to thrive. Thank you for giving the show a chance. Your time is valuable and I am grateful you spent some time with me.

HI Everyone, It's hard for me to hit publish on this episode but I feel obligated to share my thoughts. I grew up in Thousand Oaks CA and went to Agoura High school. In the same week there was a mass shooting that left 12 people killed at Borderline and thousands evacuated from Agoura, Oak Park, Malibu and the surrounding areas. As a kid we literally joked how Agoura was a bubble. That bubble was bursted last week.

Here are a few links to help both the victims and families of the Mass Shooting and the Woosley Fire.

26. The Show Takes a Drastic Turn

This episode starts off like other episodes and then takes a drastic turn. While recording this episode it becomes obvious I am addicted to my phone and social media. Time for some change.

Enjoy!

Today LeBron James suites up for the first time in the purple in gold to make his debut as a Los Angeles Laker. The NBA and the Lakers Franchise will never be the same. It is just a preseason game but I will be watching as if it's the first round of the playoffs. I can't wait.

Inspiration!

I can't believe we're already at episode 20. Thank you for participating in this journey.

"20. Stop Caring About Being Liked Make Your Own Rules"

This episode is all about changing the world around you through small actions. For example take some unwanted clothes and box them up and send them to someone in need. Or smile at a stranger.

The other major point of this episode is to encourage you to radically change the way you look at social media.

I talk a lot about this book in the show. https://www.amazon.com/Courage-Be-Disliked-Phenomenon-Happiness/dp/1501197274
