Big Swings Only

Playing it safe is easy. It’s comfortable. And it will never take you to the next level.
If you’ve got what it takes to hit the ball out of the park, the only thing holding you back is whether you’re brave enough to take a big swing.
Big Swings Only is for people who were meant for more — the ones done playing by rules that were never built for them.
Hosted by Kwame Christian, each week brings you the real stories of people who fought their fear, went after the life they actually wanted, and became who they had to become to get it.
The psychology behind the swing. The strategy behind the risk. The nerve it takes to go all in.
You were built for more, and this show was built for you. Subscribe now.
