Episode 104 of The Path to Authenticity features Allen Schwartz. Allen is a recovery advocate who also serves as a prayer chaplain at Unity of the Palm Beaches. He’s been an important figure in my life since we first met in 1996. And, he’s one of those people who makes everyone smile when he walks in the room. I’m grateful Allen agreed to be a guest. We had this conversation the evening of January 6. I was happy to talk to Allen on such a troubling day in America. Enjoy.   -Tom

The Path to Authenticity is a podcast for people looking for more from life. It focuses on emotional wellness and starts from the premise that our true power comes from our individuality. We talk to various types of writers and artists as well as therapists, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all kinds. Our guests possess one common trait. They’re people who know who they are.  We talk about what makes them who they are, how they became who they are, and how we might become truer expressions of who we are.
