🎙️ Episode Summary
This week, I’m honored to welcome my personal coach and edge-snatcher-in-chief, Varian Brandon, back to the podcast. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly looks like to walk in offense — not as recklessness, but as freedom — you’re about to witness it embodied.
This season is dedicated to the powerful legacy of my dear friend Rachel Luna, and her transformative book, Permission to Offend. In Chapter 5, Rachel breaks down what it means to walk in offense with faith and clarity. Today, Varian gives us living, breathing permission to do just that.
She is the ultimate disruptor of norms and the fiercest advocate for truth and alignment. Her presence in my life has not only redefined how I lead, but how I live.
💡Questions to Reflect on as You Listen:💭 Where in your life are you still seeking approval instead of honoring your truth?
💭 What stories are you telling yourself about what others will think if you choose authenticity?
💭 Have you been outsourcing your preferences to keep the peace? What decisions need to come back home to you?
💭 Do your boundaries come from fear or power? What would shift if you became the boundary instead?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
