An Emotional Conversation With My Dad On Our Relationship | #012

Be the first to know when my post-production masterclass is available → www.fxfcourse.com

Check out my Dad’s channel.

This is a conversation with my dad where we discuss growing apart and the tensions that appeared in our relationship as I was becoming an adult, and how we’ve overcome those tensions to become close again.

My hope, in sharing this conversation, is to show that there is a better, more emotionally intelligent way for men to communicate with each other. It’s not easy, but it can lead to much deeper, more meaningful relationships.

I hope you enjoy.

The Dark Side of My Obsession with Winning | #009

I’m very competitive. I always have been, and it troubles me because it sometimes leads me to act in a way that doesn’t align with what I know to be good for me. My competitive side can push me to overcommit in the short term and exhaust myself in the long term. It can also take me away from the joy I feel in doing things at my own pace and in my own way.

Training for a marathon is opening my eyes to this side of myself, and leading to a few realizations that I wanted to share with you.
