A journey though the pitfalls of cynicism and the motivating force of optimism to heal and transform ourselves and the world. Host Miles Eddy shares a personal journey of self-empowerment and the risks of falling into the abyss of mental anguish and isolation by succumbing to feelings of hopelessness and cynicism. By sharing our stories we find hope and clarity as we depolarize our communities and foster positive change in the world.
Do you have an inspirational message, story, or cause you want to put out into the world so you can build a tribe of people wanting to be a part of positive change in the world? In this episode of An Optimists Path through Cynicism I talk about balancing the mission and message as a Compassionate Creative with the need to have adequate cash-flow in order to get the work done, which is why I created Heartfelt Marketing Academy - marketing when money isn’t the primary objective.
