Transforming Fear, Stigma, and Shame into Courage, Honor, and Respect Featuring Ed Squire

Transforming Fear, Stigma, and Shame into Courage, Honor, and Respect Featuring Ed Squire

For 20 years, Ed was a top-tier business consultant for Fortune 500 and global companies in the US, Canada, and Europe. 

We discuss:

  • Coming to a full stop and becoming public about personal roadblocks [2:12]
  • The fundamental problem with performance orientation [5:11]
  • Find yourself, live yourself, give yourself [7:58]
  • How to get the attention of 60 to 80 million people to help them move forward [10:16]
  • The commonality that makes millions of people follow you on the fastest growing means of influence [13:27]
  • The high-end of producing a good content [15:57]
  • The beginning of the path to healing [18:10]

In 2016, Ed was on disability with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. In 2012, he began speaking openly about the childhood sexual abuse he suffered and how it was affecting him. This set off a chain of events that changed everything.

Last May, Ed started a nonprofit called MeTooWhatNow to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse and mental illness, but he wanted to be mainstream and contemporary. So he developed a niche for creating videos and documentaries that are capturing the attention of his target audience and other influencers.
