Ironically, one of the few certainties we have in life is uncertainty.

With that in mind, our focus must shift away from preventing the inevitable, or the uncertainty, and redirect itself to how we will REACT to it. In other words, how can we ensure we bring certainty into the uncertainty through what we know about ourselves?

In this episode, I’m joined by Andre Love — a king that has encountered the worst of the unexpected. Despite having two life-threatening motor accidents within 8 months — leaving him with a traumatic brain injury, broken femur, multiple broken ribs, collapsed lung, and broken kneecap alongside many other injuries — he continues to have faith & pushes forward.

Join us in conversation as we unpack his miraculous journey and learn of the certainties that will serve one well in any uncertainty.

We all have lows in life, but how do we deal with them?

In this very special episode, I’m joined by my mother, Ms. Jessica Broady, as we address the idea of lowest highs: how can we change our perspective to view low points in life through the lens of gratitude?

Throughout, my mother & I share personal stories of vulnerability — highlighting key tips & profound lessons discovered in our times of hardship.

I’m ready, are you?

What better place to begin season two than with the beginner?

While the beginner is often undervalued & perceived as an unfavorable state, we wish to open one’s mind to a broader understanding — one in which beginning anything serves as a catalyst for connection, a safeguard against our tightly-held ideas, and a beacon for new discoveries.

Join myself & special guest, Chris Hess, in conversation as we make our thought-provoking case for the need in being an expert beginner.

As the Why series comes to a close (finally), listener-feedback & honest reflection take center stage! 

From the beginning, the opportunity to candidly take you — the listener — through my journey of growth, in addition to hearing your own thoughts & contributions, has driven every action thus far.

Allow us to collectively celebrate — while still having that notepad handy — as we have a bit of fun this series finale! I’m indirectly joined on the show by four amazing souls: Jacen Bridges, Chris Hess, James McKnight, and Serene Townsell.

I’m ready, are you?

Kindness means so much more than its general definition as “the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.” So, how do you define it? You tell me! 

Courtesy of Inspirekindness.com, “Kindness can mean different things to different people. The meaning is in how YOU choose to show it.”

With that in mind, prepare to come up with your own meaning as I’m joined by the ever so kind, LaWanda Stone. From explaining how kindness is generally perceived to how it may impact others through the looking-glass self, we’ll tackle the topic from quite a few angles. 

I’m ready, are you?

I’ll be honest, redefining normal can seem a bit ambiguous. What exactly are we redefining? What about the elements of normal that are good? Are we talking about some massive, radical change?

While I can certainly acknowledge those questions, I wish to offer more clarity towards the matter. Essentially, redefining normal is making a conscious, daily effort to identify & correct — even if only in your own life — various wrong, inefficient, and/or unsustainable doings found in society.

Please join my good friend, Jonah Yoelin, and I as we share our thoughts and make the intriguing argument for engaging in the lifelong practice.

Defying the odds has been one of those actions many have held in high regard. There's something about doing the "impossible" that forces goosebumps to shortly follow after.

With this in mind, and the fact that it's a critical why to the podcast, it was only a matter of time before I unmuted my mic for discussion.

Please join myself & special guest, Coach Rich, as we dive into the elements that help make the unfathomable fathomable.

Continuing in the Why series, we begin our conversations centered around the various "whys" that make up this podcast. It's absolutely critical that we start with the why that serves as the foundation for everything else -- learn for a lifetime.

How can I defy the odds if I haven't yet learned of the great power within myself to do so? How can I redefine normal when I haven't taken the time to learn what "normal" is and the improvements necessary to ensure a better tomorrow? Lastly, how can I exemplify kindness when I haven't learned from the selfless individuals that look beyond themselves to create a meaningful impact for others?

Joining us in conversation is a true lifelong learner, Mickey Revenaugh. Please open your mind to learn as we dive into the inspiring story behind Connections Academy, the power of knowing yourself in your learning journey, and the surprising environment that spurs continuous learning as we know it.

As this journey on The Mykel Broady Podcast begins, it's imperative we understand what primarily inspired this moment. What elements helped form this opportunity to learn from one another? How did this podcast of curiosity & collective learning come to be?

In addition, it's only reasonable that, as the listener, you have full awareness of my intentions with this project. From why it's named after myself & the underlying title that extends ownership to three main wishes I desire for you, I'll catch you up to where my head is at as we kick things off.

After listening, I trust you'll have a better idea of why this podcast exists, what to expect, and how you have quite the role to play in it all!

Let's learn & grow together -- the journey's a lifetime.
