The Journey is the Destination: Mentoring with Mike Kontio (Part 1)

This month, we have something special in store for you - not just one, but TWO thought-provoking conversations that will challenge and inspire you.

In Part 1 and Part 2, I am joined by my guest, Mike Kontio, as we dive deep into a variety of topics that will leave you feeling empowered and eager for more. We discuss everything from the power of community to the importance of self-awareness and emotional intelligence.

You won't want to miss this dynamic conversation filled with insights and wisdom. Mike's approach to sensitive topics like sexual assault and harassment is respectful and thought-provoking. Through our discussion, we explore how these issues are often symptoms of deeper relationship issues.

But that's not all - we also delve into the struggles of pursuing dreams and passions, especially within the constraints of the military. We uncover the importance of wisdom and stepping out of comfort zones, while also addressing the challenges of identity in the military.

Throughout the episode, we share personal stories and reflections, creating a space for open and honest conversation. And speaking of conversations, I must mention that Mike listened to a few of my podcast episodes, which means a lot to me. It's incredible to have such supportive individuals by your side while pursuing your passions.

Now, I know sometimes it can be tough to navigate the journey of self-awareness and growth. That's why I want you to know that you are not alone. This episode will serve as a guide and a reminder that you already have everything you need to take those first steps towards personal and professional development.

The journey is just as important as the destination, and it's okay to stumble along the way. We discuss the importance of learning from our mistakes, embracing the struggle, and finding comfort in the discomfort.

So, if you're ready to gain insights, challenge your perspectives, and find comfort in knowing that you're not alone on this journey, then this episode is for you. Trust me, you'll come away with a renewed sense of purpose and a fresh perspective on leadership and personal growth.
