Soultalk With Kute Blackson

“Leaders are not  born. Leaders are cultivated. A true leader is first connected to their soul and follows the guidance of their soul without compromise.” Episode Summary: In today’s episode of Soul Talk, I share how the current state of the world is an invitation for us all to step up and share our gifts more fully. We can wait for someone else to do it, or we can commit to being the change that we seek. Leadership is not an esoteric idea for the select few, it is how you live your life each day.

What if the potential to attract money and create abundant wealth doesn't reside in your job, your circumstances, or even the economy, but within you.
