Kyle is host of YouTube channel/podcast Cowtipper Vern and one of the four moderators and founders of the ex 2x2 Facebook support group.
On his YouTube channel Kyle explore topics around 2x2 culture – deconstruction, behaviour, language, story telling.
Kyle explores here what Truth 2x2 culture looks like and some of the challenges we face defining language and beliefs, in a culture where very little is explicitly named or written down.
The naming of our culture in Truth 2x2s is powerful – exploring how that culture enables silent treatment, cover ups, abuse of power, isolation and loneliness.
We leave this episode with a challenge to pause and observe how 2x2 culture plays out in your life – both positive and negative.
This is the final episode of Season 1, thank you for listening to the first season. I’ll be taking a short break until September, when I’ll return for Season 2.
