Interesting conversations with my kids. With my son yesterday ‘How are you feeling mate with the pain - sorry I don’t ask you that. ’…. You don’t have to ask me that Dad - Mum does it all the bloody time. ‘This must frustrate you. The whole thing with being at home must be frustrating - I bet you miss all your mates. How that makes you feel must be worse than being in pain,? Not much of a reaction from him at the time, but he opened up later in the day and included me in some Lego time, which he hadn’t done for weeks. Can’t expect too much from him with respect to sharing how he feels - considering his role model up to now. @Daniel Munro Cheers Dan was great to feel some connection with him. Conversation still felt controlled, but it’s a start. And with my Daughter today on the drive to school apologising to her for being stuck in my head with thoughts and not feeling well when I picked her up yesterday. ‘That’s ok Dad we all get like that and feel like shit and don’t always know why - I feel like that a lot and don’t say anything - you are just the same as everyone, but it still sucks. I know it had nothing to do with me’… At 17 she can express Empathy better than me at 51. Hope she doesn’t feel she needs to try and manage my feelings though. Probably need to give credit where credits due for how she has turned out - to my Wife. It’s an interesting concept to me interacting with others from their perspective, rather than from my own self-centredness. Allows the space in response to choose not to follow the automatic victim pattern but to accept what’s in front of me. At least that’s the overanalysed theory in my Nice Guy mind. Now to turn that back on myself and show empathy for my behaviour in the Now, rather than judge myself on a past or future imaginary story which only exists in my mind.

After listening to the podcast I know that is everything Dan is teaching. I could hear Dan's voice. It's a long podcast that feels like it should be listened to in chunks. Dan has all the steps. Confidence being one. I just need to keep taking the action. This podcast has been good for me to reinforce Dans work and hear a different perspective. Hope everyone is good.

Listening to Brojo Podcast on Core Values to Live by. I am too passive and need to be more aggressive in many areas of my life. Any ideas on how to define aggression for my personal values and maybe experiments to test?

That was quick! Stoked to see this community grow so rapidly, and such great engagement from you guys. To celebrate, I'm happy to do a Ask Me Anything here in this thread - post your questions in the comments section below - no rules, anything you like! Take advantage of how I must be honest about anything ;)

Hey Army! Just had spontaneous idea to invite a group to a Mini Meetup. Are you interested? Open to ideas on how we execute it - whether we have an accountability themes around personal goals or course material. A shameless theme or an open discussion. Let me know if you are keen to connect.
