The greatest gift we can give a human being is listening is hearing them, and that is a gift that you have created for so many that don't have those to listen to.
What if simply listening could change your life? In this episode of 'Showing Up With Asher Gottesman', actor and Urban Confessional founder Benjamin Mathes shares his remarkable journey of discovering the transformative power of listening. After hitting a personal low, Mathes found solace and purpose in the simple act of offering a compassionate ear to others. He launched Urban Confessional, a movement where volunteers stand on street corners with 'Free Listening' signs, providing non-judgmental listening to anyone who needs it.
The movement has spread to over 80 countries and has been featured in major publications like The Huffington Post and Fast Company. Mathes discusses why listening is so challenging for many, how his own divorce reshaped his life, and some of the incredible stories he's heard from strangers. The episode also takes a surprising turn as Mathes and Gottesman chat about the unexpected benefits of hatchet throwing!
This conversation is a heartfelt reminder of the healing potential of being heard and the profound impact it can have on personal growth and human connection.
