Returning guest, Asante speaks about the providence in being vulnerable and nourishing himself with emotional and psychological tools rooted in strength, truth, and honesty. Asante explores what the last two years of his public life experience has been behind closed doors, and how he needed to take a step back to re-evaluate his goals. He also identified what he was working towards by taking a second look at what he truly valued about his successes; and what is truly important to him at the centre of his core. Asante details how his mental energy and stamina would be consumed, and how he needed to ensure that he wasn’t getting pulled into the crossfires of advocacy work misinterpreted. After much re-evaluation of priorities, Asante discovered that his ‘family first’ motto was his way forward, which led him to the tough decision to leave advocacy work, which allowed him to feel freer once he leaped. Asante shared the dangers of the ‘ego’ and chasing something that isn’t what he thought he was after. He spoke about the bitter truths about running on zero fuel, keeping a public face, and dealing with the depth of depression and burnout all served on one platter. His key message to the listeners is that: in leadership, there are more considerations that are required to be made which the public will never learn or be part of; when you are in the public spotlight, it is easy for people to think that individual’s life is perfect; don’t make judgements about people and automatically think they are or have done something terrible, check it out first.
