  24 - What does it mean to live a good life?

  Aug 31, 202614 min

  A reflection on success, ambition, and what it actually means to live a good life. Through experiences traveling in Yosemite and Banff and a deeper look at Ecclesiastes, this episode explores why achievement, wealth, and productivity can never be our ultimate source of meaning and why learning to be present, love the people around us, and find our identity in Christ is far more important.

  23 - The Weight You're Not Meant to Carry | Matthew 11

  Jul 17, 202624 min

  In this solo episode of the Live Authentic Podcast , Blake reflects on a season of building Curry Media, leading creative productions, and wrestling with the pressure that so many creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders quietly carry. After a demanding commercial shoot left him feeling unexpectedly empty, he turns to Matthew 11:28–30 to explore what Jesus really meant by rest and why burnout is often rooted in the weight of performance rather than the work itself. Through personal stories, biblical insight, and an honest look at the expectations we place on ourselves, this conversation explores what it means to stop carrying everything alone. Whether you’re building a business, pursuing creative work, or simply feeling exhausted by the pressure to always be “enough,” this episode is an invitation to trade striving for a different kind of strength.

  21 - Built to Sustain | Faith, Fitness & The Pittsburgh Half Marathon

  May 6, 202623 min

  There was a season where I almost walked away from running entirely. Not because of injury. Not because life got too busy. But because I had quietly placed my identity in my performance — and when the races didn't go the way I planned, it felt like more than a bad time on a clock. It felt like a verdict. In this first episode of Live Authentic, I'm getting raw about losing my edge, losing my passion, and what happens when you build your worth on something that was never meant to hold it. This episode ends at the Pittsburgh Half Marathon, where I ran a 1:32:39 PR on a hillier course than I ever expected — but the finish line almost isn't the point. What carried me there was a single word I told myself at mile 9.5 that I think applies to a lot more than running. Sustain. Not maintain. If you've ever tied your worth to your results, lost the passion for something you used to love, or needed a reminder that God restores more than just outcomes — this one's for you.

  Image vs. Identity: When the Outside Looks Great But the Inside Feels Tired

  Dec 9, 202517 minS0

  <p>In this episode, I sit down for a quick life update. Stepping fully into Curry Media, the weight of performance, and the quiet battle between who people think we are and who we actually are. We unpack the tension between image and identity, the pressure to look put together while feeling spiritually and emotionally drained underneath.</p><p>I talk through the psychology of self presentation and why so many of us feel disconnected from our inner world even while achieving more externally. And yes, we get into that verse from Matthew about being “whitewashed tombs” and how it stil...
