<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kute Blackson is back on the show this week. He joins me for a conversation about surrender, and as many of you may know, surrender is a favorite topic of mine.  That is why when I learned about his new book,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Magic of Surrender</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, I knew I needed to have him back.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kute shares how to unravel human tendencies to control the outcome and instead, be willing to be open to life’s possibilities. He is author of the national bestselling book</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">You.Are.The.One.</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and is widely considered the next generation leader in the field of personal development.
