In this episode, we will explore authenticity through the life of a man named David. We dive deep into meaningful examples of what makes someone authentic and the painful process of losing that quality by simply living in a world that is not taught to covet such things. Listen to his story and to the music that he made and allow yourself to be reminded that you should cling to your own authenticity as a life line, as you live in a world that tries so desperately to make you like everybody else.
