Welcome to The Stronghold Podcast, where we explore capability and truth. I’m your host, Dave Barton, and today, in Episode 016: Values, I’m going to walk through some lessons on Values that I’ve learned recently. 

In exploring capability and truth, I believe that all humans beings hold inherent, beautiful, and limitless value. I also believe that alignment with their value, strengthens the human others experience. To move forward as a human species, the more people we can awake to this, the better off we will be.

• Identifying Your Values, and Why
• Pre-Work Shedding False Identities
• Creating a Vision
• Utilizing Reinforcements
