How to Navigate A World Bent On Not Talking To Each Other – David Grasso

Imagine being married 3 times, and feeling on the verge of suicide, and then getting WOKE! Woke to your truth and become radically aligned to your truth about what you wanted for your life. You got specific, dumped the bullshit, set the boundaries that would save you and make you say, "Oh shit!"Welcome to Bob Gower's world. A world were radical alignment is not only the title of his forthcoming book but also the way he lives his life. What might happen for you if you radically aligned to your truth with intentions, honoring your concerns, setting boundaries, and allowing your dreams to fully come to life? That is the focus of our radically aligned conversation today about getting in alignment with yourself.About BobOrganizations are a superpower for humans. They help us thrive. Yet many organizations are failing to thrive—or just plain failing—because they’re not able to /adapt fast enough/ to our uncertain, fast-changing world.Bob Gower helps organizations improve performance by /designing future-ready systems/ that help people work more effectively now, and adapt more easily to future changes. In his talks, Bob explores: What makes organizations and teams succeed? Why do they fail? How can we work together more successfully? In his consulting work, Bob helps organizations design teams and streamline systems, to perform at the highest level. The result? Increased speed and agility, more productive associates, happier clients, lower costs.Bob’s work helping people build better organizations grew out of curiosity and a strong sense that we can be and do better.

Faith. It's something that guides us, gives us cause to take risks, and sometimes gets in the way of us being able to be who we are meant to be. Faith in ourselves, faith in the path, faith in our destiny. Especially when you realize that in order to come out of the closet, you need faith in all of those things and it might even mean coming to terms with your faith in a whole new way.Former client and friend of mine, Brian Gilbert, shares how he navigated a crisis of faith to fully step into living his most authentic truth - being a gay man. A truth late bloomer, a father, husband, and grandfather, Brian has come into his own in his mid-50's as well as into his new faith.About BrianBrian Gilbert is a father of 4 adult children and a grandfather of a beautiful 18-month-old granddaughter. A native of New Mexico, he practices cosmetic and implant dentistry in the city of Las Cruces in the southern part of the state. Along with his duties as father, grandfather, and dentist, he enjoys reading, hiking, travel, music, and going to the gym.You can also listen to the podcast on… Hey Guys, Check This Out!Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?

I've typically had an on again, off again relationship with my Father. It's not easy and sometimes I feel like a real asshole because I don't' have a great relationship with him. Then I realized, it takes two to show up in the arena to play the Father/Son game and I can only be responsible for how I show up and face my Daddy issues. I've chosen at this stage of life not to show up - for many reasons - but I'm also keenly aware that I am letting my Daddy issues go without guilt or shame.As the Holidays are upon us, I thought I'd share my tools for dealing with my Daddy issues, even at age 56 in the hopes that this will help another man struggling with his own Daddy issues.Hey Guys, Check This Out!Are you a guy who keeps struggling to do that thing?
