In this podcast Martin Friedman sits down to discuss becoming powerful with Berwick Mahdi Davenport and Dustin Washington. Together the three men explore how individual power can create collective power. They have all found that when we are in our internal power we create healthy collective power. We have to see and acknowledge that we came into this world to participate with our power. Mahdi and Dustin also explore how we are programmed to believe and celebrate collective power over our own. Mahdi explains that many of us don’t see our power because we don’t discuss power until we are adults. Many of us grew up in households that did not discuss power and self empowerment. Dustin shares that as a child he felt shame and guilt when he would celebrate how powerful he felt. We have to move beyond this idea that we cannot be a powerful individual.  In the second portion of this podcast our guests introduce The Soul Focused Power Summit. This summit was developed to help leaders recognize what is in their subconscious programming and  reprogram their mind to believe in their power. We hope to see amazing leaders at the power summit to begin building human solidarity with us. Visit our website for more information!
