Your Stories Don’t Define You, How You Tell Them Will


Aug 4, 2020

Dr. John Schinnerer almost gave his podcast the title The Reluctant Podcaster. Similar to my own journey, starting a podcast wasn't at all on his radar. It was a vivid vision at a retreat that included workshops with Dan Millman (author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior), spa massages, and a drum circle. 

So much of this conversation comes back to me as I consider the "ah ha" moments throughout. My favorite? The Bradley Whitford quote about receiving feedback or criticism:

I go through three phases when I hear feedback or criticism, 

    1. Fuck you.
    2. I suck.
    3. Wait... what?

Intrigued? Listen in!

John mentioned the availability of a replay of the Surviving to Thriving event in May, 2020, visit this site. Be sure to reach out to connect with John via LinkedIn, follow him on Twitter, visit his websites for Anger Management, Guide to Self - executive coaching, and Divorce Support for Men, and check out his terrific podcast, The Evolved Caveman.
