“There’s a melody of flourishment in the world… and I try to make sure I’m playing that melody so others can harmonize with it.”

Your presence and tone can have a profound impact on the flourishment of those around you. In this episode, Alex dives into the unseen but powerful force of resonance, which is the energy and tone you carry into every room, meeting, or moment. Whether you’re leading a team, parenting a teenager, or showing up for your community, your personal frequency either harmonizes or dissonates with those around you. This episode is a powerful call to tune yourself right...so others can flourish with you.
