The Pursuit of Love - By Steve Claydon and Darcy J Smyth (Directors at Why Bravo)

In this episode we deep dive into the resistance to change and what causes human flourishing. It's a strange world out there, full of change and full of resistance. We know this in ourselves, in our team, in our families and even in the strangers around us. But how do we unlock 'potential' and is it even ours to say what others potential is. Our 9 cents in this episode: The apprentice (mentorship) model and why it works? How to lend courage and confidence whilst holding responsibility to 'do the work'. Aiming to do 'what you like' and whether that's an appropriate aim. How to not take life so seriously and combine fun with progress. You can be an outstanding and excellent person (at something). There won't be many. Knowing that 'you don't have to be here' leading to ultimate freedom. Letting failure happen (for good reason). Being truthful, visible and vulnerable in all that you do. This one was a deep one, enjoy your whisky and enjoy the chat. To learn more about The Outbound Game visit https://www.outbound.game
