Summary

As a transformational teacher, Kute Blackson's mission is simple: To awaken and inspire people across the planet to access inner freedom, live authentically and fulfill their true life’s purpose.

Kute's multicultural upbringing spanning four continents offers a unique foundation in his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual's true gifts and greatness.

Modeling courage and resilience, hear Kute share his fresh look at spiritual awareness, practical ideas and soul-stirring wisdom that will ignite the heart and inspire courageous action.

SHOW NOTES:

"Being aware that you're going to die opens up the fierce urgency to really live."
Kute describes a miracle as a shift in our attention and the willingness to see the magic in ordinary moments.
Integrating the sacred and mundane: While his father was always on a path of his own mission, Kute is hopeful that future generations will have a better opportunity to balance the sacred and mundane moments of life.
Afraid to lose what love + connection he received from his dad, Kute spent many years living forth the plan his dad set ahead of him instead of finding his true passion.
Do I want to die holding back? Kute shares how a near-death experience in India allowed him to make peace with death.
"It's not about what happens when we die. It's about how are we going to live this moment right now."
In a moment of anxiety... take pause to recognize where your attention is directed, reframe the situation, focus on the present and break down actions into small, simple steps.
Instead of overriding the feelings of exhaustion, listen to your bodies and discover ways to rest in order to feel rejuvenated.
To combat isolation + loneliness, Kute encourages being intentional in cultivating community and connect with our true spirit.
"You can be alone and not feel lonely. I've found when I feel lonely, I'm disconnected with myself."
"Life itself is ultimately a process of surrender."
