It sucks being weird doesn’t it?

What?  You aren’t weird?

Ohhh, you mean you’ve been hiding your individuality. You know, showing up to boring happy hours just to fit in with your co-workers.  Pretending you like sports and drinking and your job, just so others will like you….

Today, I talk to my friend Martin McGovern from Idea Lemon. Martin helps people embrace their weirdness, find their voice, and get attention for their side project.

We attack issues that everyone can relate to…

Trying to be happier. Finding friends who support you. Being made fun of for not drinking. And feigning interest in things just to be accepted.

Look, this isn’t high school. We cut through the bullshit and give you actionable things to do to live a happier more fulfilled life.
