I met Darcy at a speaking event last year. His story was gripping as hell.  Everyone in the audience was spellbound. He suffered immensely for many years. And now he runs like a boss towards a totally different future. Oh - and we both and an important belief dispelled while give a sperm sample.  We can't be the only ones.

What do you do when someone challenges your ideas? Do you look at it as an opportunity to convince them you're right? Do you get defensive? Do you listen just so you know when to jump in and respond? Do you see disagreement as binary?  Someone will win and someone will lose? I did for the first 40 years of my life. And you know what?  It's an absolutely stupid way to behave. Make curiosity a foundational value in your life. It changes how you think, explore and interact. Rejoice when you realize your ideas aren't even close to well thought out. Every moment is an opportunity to learn.  Seize the chance.

Eddie is a badass.   He also has the sexiest voice in the world! He was a Hot Shot firefighter.  He came within a breath of taking his own life. His life has been profoundly touched by suicide. He has come so far it's incredible. He has changed his mindset and changed his life. He's living a life of service to others and making an important contribution to the world. Thank you brother! You can can find him at http://mindsetmtn.com/ and MHW listeners can grab some his writing at mindsetmtn.com/mentalhealth.  If you watch to reach out to Eddie, you can do that here: eddie@mindsetmtn.com

These assumptions will change the way you look at people. They'll change how you interact with them. They will make you more curious and compassionate. They will make more kind. You'll also do less stupid shit that makes things worse. Putting them into practice is not easy. I screw it up frequently. But as you get better, everything gets better. And that's what it's all about Support me on Patreon.

Some people have called me out on YouTube. They've said I'm a self-absorbed jerk for only telling "my story" and not Cindy's. They've said I was a terrible husband who has Cindy's blood on my hands. Obviously they are entitled to their opinion and their sharing it made me think. I decided to try to tell Cindy's story from her point of view. I know that's impossible but I did my best. My hope is that it helps the people who loved her know her a little better. Maybe it will help some spouses understand their partners better. Maybe it will help some people see that their are skills they can learn to be more effective. Support me on Patreon.

You never know what awaits around the corner. Your life as you know it can change instantly and forever. Imagine your professional life....gone. Imagine the life you thought you knew...gone. Imagine not giving up.  Finding a new path.  Pushing forward. And on top of all that, helping others at the same time. That's the kind of man Jeff Huxford is. And that's why you need to listen to him. Support us on Patreon. Learn more about Jeff here.

Andrew is a husband and father. He's also a member of one our mastermind groups. It wasn't that long ago that he was in a bad spot. Depressed...angry....drinking.   You know the story. Then he decided he wanted something different. He started making different choices. He started getting different results. He's become a hell of a lot more courageous. This conversation is proof of that. Keep moving forward my friend! Support us on Patreon.

What an amazing conversation about Post-Traumatic Growth. The principles Ken talks about are applicable to anyone. We talk about the current state of treatment for PTS. We dive deep on the concepts of self-regulation and service to others. This is a conversation about making powerful, purposeful and intentional choices. It's about the powerful of human connection. And it's about service. I love this one so much. Support me on Patreon.

I love strong women and Natalia Volz fits the bill perfectly.  I loved this conversation about grief. We talk about the purpose of grief, the lessons it can teach us and how to move through it.

We all do shit that we don't understand. We are always trying to figure ourselves out. Asking "why" can be one of the most destructive ways to try to know ourselves. Asking "why" can also be one of the most powerful ways to know ourselves. Learn the difference.

That moment when your rammy ass gets called out by your yoga instructor. I learned from the experience and I'm still a proud pigeon. This is the ultimate in first world problems.

What separated us from chimps? The ability to imagine things that aren't true. That's the contention of Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens. What did that mean for our species?

Seriously - what a story. I'm not sure what else to say other than: Never stop trying. Obstacles are our greatest, most demanding teachers. I have faced them. You have faced them.

Feedback can be uncomfortable. It can confirm your limiting beliefs. It can challenge your thinking. It can make you question a lot of things you'd rather not question. That's what makes feedback so important. It's also what makes the people willing to give it so valuable. Thank you Nick Elkins. Support me and the MHW movement on Patreon.
