Unlocking True Strength: Hustle in Faith Podcast Featuring Our Founder, Rick Stevenson
What do you long for?
What are you most afraid of?
Where do you live between those two questions?
These are just a few of the prompts Rick Stevenson has asked over 7,500 people around the world, from middle school students to CEOs. In a recent episode of the podcast Hustle in Faith, Rick joins host LaTosha Johnson to share how personal storytelling can unlock emotional intelligence, resilience and a sense of meaning in a noisy world.
LaTosha and Rick talk about:
Rick's path from Oxford-trained filmmaker to emotional literacy advocate
The 5000 Days Project and what 20+ years of interviewing kids taught him
The moment he realized his biggest blind spot wasn't intellectual; it was emotional
How storytelling moves emotion from the heart to the head
Why your story is the most powerful thing you own
Rick opens up about how years of relationship struggles and therapy revealed what he hadn't wanted to face: his emotions weren't his enemy—they were the key to everything.
“Grief is just love with nowhere to go.”
Together, Rick and LaTosha explore what it means to own your story, not just as a personal exercise, but as an act of courage, honesty and connection.
