Today I have the founder of the Hugs Over Masks organization, Vladislav Sobolev. Vlad is from Kazakhstan and he grew up under the Soviet Union but he now lives in Canada. Over the past 18 months, Vlad has been on a mission to awaken Canadians and others around the world to stand in our own power and protect the freedoms that far too many of us have taken for granted. This episode is for anyone who's been looking to step up, to speak out and to take action in a meaningful way. Maybe you know someone who sits on the sidelines of life, waiting for things to get better. Or maybe they believe their voice doesn't matter and their actions wouldn't make a difference. Well the truth is we all influence others, whether we know it or not. So take ownership of this power and direct to consciously. This was one of many empowering insights that Vlad shared with me on the podcast. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
