What if the person you're trying to become doesn't exist yet?

If you've ever felt stuck between who you've been and who you're becoming, this conversation is for you.

David Kidder has built and sold companies, written New York Times bestselling books, advised Fortune 500 leaders, and spent decades helping entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty. But this conversation isn't about exits or success.

It's about what happens when everything you've built no longer defines you.

We explore why failure can be the greatest source of freedom, how fear loses its grip the moment you face it, why you can't know where your path will lead before you begin, and what it means to surrender control without giving up ambition.

David shares the lessons that only come from starting over, the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose, why permission is often the thing standing between us and the life we want, and how becoming, not achieving, is the real work.

What story have you accepted about your life that was never actually yours?

At sixteen, Halim Flowers was sentenced to two life sentences. The world handed him an ending before his life had even begun.

He never claimed it.

In this episode of Full Wattage, Halim shares how he built freedom in his mind long before he was physically released. From 22 years behind bars to becoming an artist, author, entrepreneur, and cultural engineer, his story is not about resilience as a buzzword. It is about certainty. It is about self-definition. It is about refusing to let the worst thing that happened to you become the truest thing about you.

We talk about the hunger that shaped him, the moment he stopped waiting for the world to change, the books and beliefs that helped him move from belief to knowing, and the purpose that now drives his work: bringing beauty, wellness, and cultural capital into the communities most often denied them.

This conversation will make you look at your own life differently.

Because the story written for you was never yours.

Most of us think the thing standing between us and our best performance is more skill.

More practice.
Better technique.
A different strategy.

But what if that's not the problem?

Dr. Rick Sessinghaus has spent decades coaching elite golfers, including two-time major PGA champion Collin Morikawa, through the highest-pressure moments in sport.

What he's learned is that the obstacle is rarely talent.

It's the interference.

The doubt.
The distraction.
The fear.
The stories we tell ourselves when things stop working.

In this conversation, we explore what it takes to stay in the game when nothing is clicking, why one bad variable doesn't mean the entire system is broken, and the question that changes everything:

Who needs to show up right now?

Whether you're leading a company, raising a family, building something meaningful, or simply trying to become more of who you're capable of being, this conversation is a masterclass in performing under pressure.
