In this week’s episode, I am joined by Kute Blackson. Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation.  Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness. Though Kute was raised all over the world, he had always dreamed of life in America. As if by kismet, he won a green card just after finishing school in London. He came to America alone just months later, with no connections or prospects.  When Kute arrived in Los Angeles, all he had to his name were two suitcases and the dream of seeking out the spiritual and self-help icons who had inspired him when he was a boy. Kute quickly learned that the “outside-in” approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. This helps the individual get in touch with who they really are. It is a process of breaking free—so that the individual can live, give, and share the truest expression of their self. This is what Kute calls “Liberated Living.” Key Points • Surrender's deeper meaning unveiled • Kute's internal debate against his father’s path • Encounters that reshape life's journey • The profound impact of death's reality • Embracing surrender as the path to freedom • Learning to listen to life's deeper calling Best Quotes 07:51 - 07:59 • "At 18, that's when I would say the foundation of my life was set, because I felt my soul calling me to go to America." 08:34 - 08:41 • "I think sometimes what your soul guides you to do doesn't always make sense to your mind." 15:06 - 15:15 • "It has a awakening effect on one's consciousness, a healing effect in one's nervous system.
