E159 | My Most Vulnerable Episode So Far

Sometimes this podcast is a place to learn tactics and strategies and other times it's a place to share hard, honest truths. Recently, a conversation with a friend about the fleeting nature of fatherhood sparked an examination of my priorities and time. As a result I wrote a deeply personal piece about a few things I’ve reflected upon and perhaps even (re)learned over the past year. Some of this I’ve spoken about before- yet it still resonates, now more than ever. On today’s episode I’ll expand on those initial thoughts and what led to writing my recent newsletter. If you haven’t read the original piece and want to, make sure you’re subscribed by clicking here. I’m not a big email guy so I promise I won’t blow up your inbox- I only send a couple a month and they are typically raw and honest like this. Speaking of honest- can I ask for a favor? We rely on your feedback and suggestions to make this show better and we would LOVE if you would share that with us in the form of a review on iTunes. Let’s do this: if you leave a rating we’ll enter you in a random drawing to win either a free course or 1-on-1 communication training call with me. Just make sure you use your real name or social media handle so we can contact you!
