Join me, Michael Howard, and my insightful guest, Colin Brown, as we tackle the concept of humility, a trait often lauded yet widely misunderstood. From the battleground of high school cross country to the strategic mindsets of Navy SEALs, we explore how humility influences not only our personal perceptions but also our competition strategies. Our conversation reveals the joy in embracing the process over the prize and how humility can liberate us from the confines of victory's allure.
Dive into the intricate relationship between humility and American culture's pursuit of excellence with us. We share personal reflections on learning from our own limitations in sports like surfing and Jiu Jitsu, fostering self-improvement and gracefully accepting the lessons in being wrong. This episode is a revelation of the subtle power humility wields, even in the competitive environments we navigate daily. We discuss the paradox of false humility and the unintentional harm it can bring, underscoring the importance of genuine self-assessment.
Finally, we contemplate the role of humility in shaping one's destiny, especially within the Christian music industry, and the balance between commercial success and true worship.

Colin and I close the episode by sharing wisdom gained from life's trials, offering you a treasure of insights without the cost of personal experience. Embark on this heartfelt journey to understand the profound impact of humility on life's myriad facets.
