What is love? In this episode with Ruben Rojas we go into the depths of what love is, what it is not, and paint a future of how to love well in all aspects of our lives.

Our guest is Ruben Rojas. By using the urban landscape as his canvas, Ruben encourages communities to change for the better through optimism and collaboration.

Have you ever wanted something so badly but it just isn’t happening?

Maybe it’s scaling your business.
Maybe it’s repairing your marriage.
Maybe it’s making six figures.
Maybe it’s transforming your work culture.
Maybe it’s becoming a master at your craft.

No matter how hard you try, you can’t get there. Have you felt that sting?
That uncomfortable pain isn’t something to run from. Embrace it. It’s necessary.
That’s part of the price to pay to get what you want.

In this week’s episode, Kevin Carroll and Johan Martinez-Khalilian talk about his relationship with comfort, why he leaned into the discomfort, and how he said yes to a life of growth.
