In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri unpack the truth behind one of the most overused ideas in culture: being "one of one."

Everyone says they want to be different, but few are willing to fight the internal war it takes to truly become who they were designed to be.

This conversation explores the cost of authenticity, the battle between your past and your future, and what it really means to live as a whole person, not a performance.

They discuss:

• Why most people are chasing uniqueness for the wrong reasons.

• The real difference between being different and being whole.

• The war between your past and your future and how to win it.

• How pain, purpose, and calling are connected.

• Why becoming 1 of 1 isn't about fame, but transformation.

This is a raw and hopeful episode about the fight to be real in a culture of copies.

In this episode of The New Rules Podcast, Adrian and Bri sit down with one of their favorite thinkers, Mark Sayers, pastor of Red Church in Melbourne and author of A Non-anxious Presence and Reappearing Church. Known for his insights on faith, culture, and leadership, Mark unpacks what it means to live and lead faithfully in a world defined by uncertainty, disinformation, and rapid technological change.

Together, they explore:

• How AI and cultural instability are reshaping leadership.

• The hidden spiritual hunger emerging beneath global chaos.

• The loss of truth, the rise of tribalism, and what authentic hope looks like now.

• Why the next era of leadership requires depth, humility, and integrity rather than platforms.

This is a timely and deeply grounded conversation about faith, formation, and the kind of leadership the future desperately needs.
