Interview with Campbell Lillard

Scott Pagliaccio

If you'd like to get a deeper slice of Campbell and his journey, check out his first episode back in Feb 2020

Episode: Rise to Recovery

In this episode, Campbell gets even more vulnerable and shares what it was like for him in the Texas Stae prison system. Also how he got involved with fitness in prison, first to protect his life and then how it became his passion! Campbell turned a potential life sentence into an extraordinary opportunity!!!

Highlighting this young brother has been an absolute honor for us at The Conscious Man! Campbell proves over and over again that we are not products of our environments as long as we garner a growth mindset and have willing to ask for help! Ain't nobody doing shit by themselves!

After prison, Campbell reached out for mentorship and was met! this man exhibited true strength (vulnerability) pay attention men! contrary to what we've been told, Vulnerability is our superpower!!!

Listen all the way through for your action step.

I'm going to own that this audio is raw and there are a few instances that might trigger some listeners.I cough before the intro at another point there is some barking from Campbells dog. So just a heads up for those of you who might be sensitive.

Mentor: Logan Gelbrich Book- Going RightGoing Right: A Logical Justification for Pursuing Your Dreams is a world-view shattering model of decision-making. In this book, we are offered liberation from our socialized, detached, and unsustainable methods of making life’s most meaningful choices. This is a fresh invitation to integrate our emotional passions, using our rational brain, while remaining grounded in real-world experiences. Gelbrich builds on leading academic theories and exceptional practical illustrations to support his proposed decision-making model. Surprisingly, most adults today, who are privileged enough not to worry about their basic survival needs, operate as if pursuing the loftiest version of themselves poses a threat to their safety and an offense to the social norms of their lives. Many point to the risks of losing their own happiness, the possibility to not providing for themselves and dependents, and the social consequences of chasing down their ideal self-expression to fuel their logic against reaching for something higher. But basing the most meaningful of our choices, our dreams, on assumptions, and predicting the effects of our decisions on our most important obligations is robbing us and our communities of the happiness, our ability to provide for self and others, and social benefits that we find ourselves instinctively protecting in the first place. Going Right explores the essentially grand, utilitarian advantages of an alternative logic and unlocks universal modern truths of pursuing our peak expression. The enduring stoic path of significance presented here leads us to hold greater commitments, practice deep work, remain resilient to adversity, experience moments of creative flow, and curate transferable skills. Whether in the context of relationships, work, or lifestyle, Going Right presents a solid case that braving your evolutionary resistances to continually pursue your dreams is truly the most logical choice you can make.
