Show Notes

There’s this heavy fear that if you don’t conform to the social conditioning around school, then you’ll automatically get outcasted. At times that may become true, but why care about what others may think about you? Not many 17 year olds even know what they want to do for the rest of their life. You have the choice to not take on that pressure of what other people say you need to do. Nobody is going to die your death and nobody is going to live your life. Get out there, try things, and take a massive amount of action because the chances of you finding out what you want to do with your life without doing anything out of fear are zero. 

Weston Robbins, Founder and President of Eternal Strength Experiential Youth Center and Zac Sweat, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Eternal Strength, both have very different stories, yet similar paths.
