What makes us who we are? Why do some people come out of trauma more loving while others come out more guarded? Can we genuinely, lastingly change, or is who we are "baked in?" I'm often asked how a dyslexic kid from a ghetto got to study with masters, become a polymath and serve the world's leading icons. Although I don't hold back at diving in with my guests, many of you have sent me messages about how you would like to know a lot more about my journey and how I became a top 100 leadership speaker, advisor, and guide to those who lead and guide others. Some of you wanted to know more about where I grew up and what that environment was like. You wanted to know about the businesses I owned on three continents and how I dealt with not just falling 120 ft off a mountain but how I came back. For this special bonus episode, I went on The Kelly Cardenas podcast, one of the world's top 1% podcasts. I told Kelly that he had my permission to go anywhere that might serve the audience. And he did. This is an extraordinarily candid conversation. Before you go any further, you should know this gets pretty raw. Maybe more than you'd expect.  For example, we go into what grief is and why we can't ignore it. I talk about being a recovering adrenaline junky, growing up in poverty, my father abandoning up, and a pedophile rescuing us. We talk about how children with the same parents can grow up in different families. We talked about how despite what you've been told, love and hate can exist in the same space. And So much more. I hold nothing back here if you've ever wanted to know the raw version of who Dov Baron is. Please leave me your feedback after listening. Again, this is a special bonus episode, and you will really enjoy how we pull back the curtain. A huge thank you to Kelly Cardenas for walking me down this path. Enjoy.
