What does it mean to truly own who you are—and create happiness from that truth? In this empowering episode, Brian explores Gloria Gaynor’s iconic anthem “I Am What I Am” as a powerful expression of identity, joy, and creative agency. Drawing from the song’s bold lyrics and deeper themes, he invites you to stop hiding, start creating, and embrace the idea that you are not a problem to fix—but a special creation.
Through the lens of hope, faith, and personal agency, Brian shows how we don’t have to wait for happiness—we can build it by living with intention and truth. Whether you shout it, whisper it, or sing it: your voice matters, your story matters, and your creative journey begins with owning who you are.
Key ideas:
Why authenticity is essential to happiness
How identity is something we create, not wait for
Reclaiming joy through visibility, courage, and self-expression
The role of hope and faith in becoming who you’re meant to be
You are not too much. Not too little. You are just right—and you are a creator.
