Ep.123 - What It Takes to be a Good Person Feat. Brandon Montero
What does it actually take to be a good person, and how do you build that from the inside out instead of following fear-based templates? In this conversation, Jason and Brandon Montero break down why black-and-white labels can mislead growth, and how an internal compass, integrity, and agency create better decisions at home and at work. You’ll hear practical examples from religion, relationships, leadership, and jobsite culture that show how to trade polarization for understanding and real progress.
