Episode 19: Comfort Is The Enemy.
About This Episode:
In this episode, Dr. Drew Crawford welcomes back Brad Huff for a casual, but meaningful conversation about the role community plays in personal change. In a world that praises self-reliance, they reflect on how being seen, supported, and challenged by community has shaped their personal transformation. Together, they unpack the power of showing up as you are: not polished, not perfect, but present. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t happen in isolation; rather, it happens in connection, in conversation, and in the courage it takes to be fully seen.
