Summary

Many people's dying regret is that they lived a life that someone else wanted to, not the life they wanted for themselves. Does that resonate with you? This week on Rise Together Dave sits down with Hollywood producer, best-selling author and motivational speaker, DeVon Franklin and they unpack what it means to live a life of freedom, releasing the expectations of other people and navigating the unexpected in life. Having so many expectations is distorting your perspective, decreasing your happiness and disrupting your joy. In a culture obsessed with more, DeVon's new book Live Free is a bold counterintuitive book that can start a cultural revolution, teaching readers to live a life of true freedom, greater peace and less stress. The key? Release as many expectations as possible. Let's Go! -- I want to be your coach. Yes, YOU! Join me at Growth Day, not for pre-taped lessons, but for weekly LIVE coaching.
