Courage to Be Courageous

De: Dan Bolen
  • Resumen

  • This show is about any individual who has struggled with coming out, with secrets, and isolation. It will lend itself to the gay community but also to the heterosexual community who are struggling with fear. Not living there true authentic self and needing the courage to make a change in their life. I was a successful businessman who used religion and workaholism to bury who I was. I came out as gay at 70 years old. Through our podcasts they will hear stories of my guests who have come out and how they were able to embrace who they are. Some of the guests may still be struggling as well. It will be an open, vulnerable podcast, that my listeners should be able to identify with in their own lives.
