What if the process you're trying to rush through is actually part of the purpose?

In Episode 19 of We The Outsiderzz, Tony Palmer and Adrian Collins reflect on the experiences that have shaped who they are and the people they are still becoming.

From athletics and life after college to faith, family, brotherhood, relationships, and personal growth, Tony and Adrian talk about the lessons that come from the different seasons of life. They reflect on where they started, what they thought they wanted, and how their perspective has changed along the way.

The conversation also gets into intentionality, consistency, discipline, and the difference between having potential and actually putting in the work. They talk about trusting the journey while still being intentional about the direction you are going, learning to recognize what looks good but may not be good for you, and understanding the importance of discernment.

Ultimately, this episode is about embracing the season you are in and recognizing that the middle, the part where you are still figuring things out, is not wasted time.

The process is part of the purpose.

How Deep Is Your Faith, Really?

Faith isn't always tested in the big moments. Sometimes it's revealed in the quiet moments when you're honest enough to ask yourself the difficult questions.

In this episode, Tony and Adrian have an honest conversation about what it means to pursue a genuine relationship with God. They reflect on prayer, spiritual growth, trusting God's timing, and the subtle ways routine can begin to replace relationship. Along the way, they share personal experiences that challenged their perspectives and reminded them that faith is a continual process of surrender, humility, and growth.

Whether you've been walking with God for years or you're simply exploring what faith looks like in everyday life, this conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and consider what it truly means to follow Him.

Growth has a way of making us look everywhere except the one place that matters most: ourselves.

In this episode, Tony and Adrian explore what it means to confront the man in the mirror through honest reflection, self awareness, and the willingness to grow. The conversation moves through fatherhood, entrepreneurship, leadership, and brotherhood, revealing how our inner world shapes everything we build around us.

Together, they unpack the tension between ambition and patience, the influence of past experiences on present decisions, and why vulnerability is often where real growth begins. They also discuss the importance of routines, communication, emotional awareness, and taking responsibility for the person you are becoming.

At its core, this episode is a reminder that lasting change does not begin with changing everyone else. It begins with having the courage to honestly examine yourself.

If you are committed to becoming a better leader, father, entrepreneur, partner, or simply a better human being, this conversation is for you.
