  My Home Almost Got Impounded | 100% Is Possible 100% of the Time

  Jun 30, 202617 minS1

  What do you do when your home is about to get taken, you have $0, and every answer is no? A few weeks ago, I walked out of the gym and saw four police officers standing around my bus. Not just any bus. The Shred Sled. My home. The bus I’ve driven across the country hosting events, teaching longboarding, building community, and bringing Beyond the Board to life. In that moment, I was being told it was about to get impounded . I couldn’t grab my laptop, my cameras, my clothes, or any of my belongings. The first fee they mentioned was $1,500 minimum, and because of a DMV registration issue, I had no idea when I’d be able to get my home back. This episode is the story of what happened next, but it’s not really about the bus. It’s about faith, surrender, support, and what it means to stay open to possibility when the facts look brutal . It’s about taking ownership, making clean requests, asking for help, releasing control, and choosing who you’re going to be while the outcome is still uncertain. In this episode I talk about: The moment I thought I was losing my home Why a no does not always mean the story is over The difference between surrendering and giving up What it means to ask for support instead of spiraling alone Why your energy under pressure matters How this experience reminded me that 100% is possible 100% of the time Follow Keep Pushing Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/keeppushingpodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuWmmT-3aLBe5jmH0o99GlzgR8owdyiht

  Conscious Leadership Isn’t About Being Nice | Seb Naum on Purpose, Conscious Capitalism and Scaling Good

  Jun 10, 20261h 1mS1

  What if making money and doing good were never supposed to be opposites? In this episode of Keep Pushing , I sit down with Sebastian Naum , entrepreneur, podcast host, and President of Conscious Capitalism LA , for a conversation about purpose, leadership, business, family, and what it actually means to build something that makes an impact . Seb opens up about growing up in Argentina, moving to the U.S. as a kid, feeling like an outsider, and finding his way through sports, curiosity, and entrepreneurship. We talk about his first business building eco-friendly baseball bats, the family loss that shaped his drive, and why he no longer believes one big business win is going to “save” him or the people he loves. This conversation goes deep into conscious capitalism, greenwashing, purpose washing, leadership, entrepreneurship, and the hard truth that being a conscious leader does not just mean being nice. Sometimes it means making tough calls, holding people accountable, and still choosing to lead with awareness. This is a conversation about building businesses that scale good, creating spaces where people feel safe to be honest, and learning how to keep pushing with more purpose, presence, and joy. In this episode we discuss: How growing up in Argentina shaped Seb’s sense of family, competition, and connection What it was like moving to the U.S. and navigating culture shock as a kid How sports helped Seb find belonging when he felt like an outsider The story behind Seb’s eco-friendly baseball bat company Why getting close to Major League Baseball was not enough to keep him passionate How family loss and betrayal shaped Seb’s early drive to “make it” Why Seb no longer believes one big business win will save him What conscious capitalism actually means The difference between making money and extracting from people Why conscious leadership is not the same thing as being nice How to spot greenwashing and purpose washing Why conscious businesses still need to be profitable How asking better questions can create deeper connection Connect with Seb Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sebnaum/ Website: https://sebastiannaum.com/ Aware with Seb Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6NxpHuQyAihurnij5ljUmw?si=bd2ce5d2a8d6432a Follow Keep Pushing Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/keeppushingpodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apple Podcasts: ⁠ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/keep-pushing-with-brandon-desjarlais/id1884161960⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuWmmT-3aLBe5jmH0o99GlzgR8owdyiht
