Welcome to Episode 32 of the Next Level Voices Series on Kultivation w/ Kevie!
In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Brian Gorman, a public speaker, author, activist, and maverick coach whose life’s work has been centered on creating meaningful and lasting change. Brian’s story spans decades of activism, leadership, and deep personal reflection, making this episode both grounding and expansive.
Brian and I explore his early activism at Syracuse University, his coming-out story during the height of the AIDS crisis, and the pivotal moments that shaped his commitment to challenging unjust systems. He shares how his experiences confronting racism, advocating during the epidemic, and standing in his truth laid the foundation for the work he continues to do today.
We also dive into the healing and leadership work Brian now focuses on, including supporting survivors and families affected by child sexual abuse and guiding organizations through major change. Our conversation expands into the future of work, the rise of AI, why wisdom is becoming more essential than ever, and how energy, rather than time, is what truly drives productivity and fulfillment.
This episode is for anyone who feels called to question outdated systems, lead with greater awareness, or create deeper meaning in their personal or professional life. Brian’s insights are thoughtful, grounded, and rooted in lived experience, offering perspective that stays with you long after the conversation ends.
