About MPower You Podcast

33 Conversations is a podcast about who we have been, what changes us, and who we are becoming. Host Michael Abney sits down with founders, creators, and leaders whose stories are still unfolding. Each conversation moves beyond the polished biography and familiar success story to explore the experiences that shaped their authority, the identities they may be outgrowing, and the next chapter beginning to emerge. These are not performances or perfectly packaged lessons. They are honest conversations about uncertainty, reinvention, confidence, purpose, and the meaningful work of building a life from the inside out. For listeners, each episode offers a window into the messy middle and something useful, honest, or hopeful to carry into their own lives.

Published 20 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Right. A lot of people use the word control in a negative, in a negative connotation, right? These two controlling, they use it. But the thing is that, you know, if you go back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, security is the first need, right? So to feel comfortable as a human, you need to feel secure. And when people act according to societal norms, then they're in control and everybody around them feels secure. Right. So that's what society's norms brings us is a feeling of security.
