You can't connect the dots moving forward – you can only connect them looking backwards.  During my corporate career, that used to be something I excelled at. Identifying patterns, monitoring their development and tracking where things might lead has always been a strength of mine.  Yet lately, this has been a struggle. It takes a lot of mental energy and a firm desire for control to try to connect the dots we haven't reached yet – and leaves little room for wonder, surprise or those little synchronicities of life.  In our last few episodes, we've spoken a lot about the active process of surrendering inner resistance and going where the flow of life takes us. It's this fiercely personal endeavor that I'll be exploring today with the help of recent guest and master facilitator, Aaron Kahlow.  In This Episode (02:51) How do we pay attention to our journey without expecting certain outcomes?  (09:57) Does time matter in spiritual development? (14:09) The gift of self-expression and the danger of numbing out (21:57) Finding balance between living in our truth while acknowledging daily obstacles (25:52) How compartmentalization causes friction (30:21) Why we fear honesty  (34:24) Expectations, blueprints and leaving room for mystery in life – responsibly  (42:04) Where are you on the certainty spectrum?  (47:20) Why men fear our own anger (51:21) “Thank God for our emotions” (56:16) Transcending and balancing the horizontal plane of the mind (1:04:53) Can we really change? Notable Quotes “I'm walking this edge that has excitement, as well as fear. It has a tremendous amount of uncertainty, and there's also a certain amount of anticipation that's coming along with it. There's this part of me that knows, like something magical could be unfolding. And then there's the other part of me that's like, ‘You're going to screw this all up, you have no idea where you're going. You don't have a plan for it. It's not all thought out.' That's like the edge I wanna walk and I wanna be able to express from there. I wanna be able to own that place of vulnerability and just be honest with it.” – Luke (24:15) “Our traumas inform so many things, right? That's the problem. We can't unlock those little micro or macro traumas and be clear and true and honest about it. The best thing that's happened to me [is being] honest about my deficiencies, microtraumas and things that are holding me back with my wife. That's where real unfolding happens. We can create and connect together where there's an understanding, there's a level of compassion, the battles end, the guards are down. The more I can keep expressing those things in a way that's tapped into my truth and my emotions, the better it [is]. … And man, there ain't no sex as good as that.” – Aaron (01:02:21) Our Guest Aaron Kahlow is an emotional wellbeing advocate, facilitator and leader committed to helping people create more meaningful human connection in our lives through authentic community building, shared learning, healing and personal growth experiences.

How often does the mask we wear–at work, with our friends, even our loved ones–match what's going on underneath?  The face we show to the world isn't necessarily the face we show ourselves. There's often a disconnect between the way we see ourselves and the way we present ourselves to the world.  The more we aim to please, rise or shrink to fit given situations and expectations, the more we lose sight of who we are. But who is that, really? It's time to pull down the masks, challenge what's real and what's illusion, and stop hiding. It's vulnerability time. On today's episode, I'm honored to welcome guests Ashanti Branch and Aaron Kahlow. The origins of Ashanti's work were featured in the documentary, “The Mask You Live In,” which looks at how traditional notions of masculinity are affecting our young men.  Aaron is a social health and emotional wellbeing advocate and facilitator whose experience creating space for people to safely take down their masks makes him an incredible source of wisdom for today's topic. In This Episode (01:38) Learning to wear–and take down–masks from childhood (07:44) How Ashanti defines “mask”  (13:12) Aaron's exhaustion from wearing masks (17:13) The concept of holding space (20:03) How Ashanti uses the idea of masks to help kids open up (25:50) Revealing what's behind Aaron's mask (30:45) Using our masks as a way to bottle up emotions (34:32) The importance of co-regulation and social connections (41:02) How we can create safe space (46:15) Helping young men learn trust (55:49) What it takes to trust (58:03) Skillful relationships—with others and yourself Notable Quotes “I was raised by a single mother in Oakland, California. I was supposed to know what it meant to be a man. Even though there was no man really helping me figure it out. And I think the story that I wanna connect to what you shared was I was told by my uncle, I was a man of the house. And I'm like, ‘Hey, I'm just seven. I just wanna play.' And that childhood got taken away really quickly. And so I began to have to learn quickly through a lot of pain, a lot of battles and fights that, who I am nurture-wise is not what my community accepted is what really means to be a man. And so I had to put on all these different masks… And I think that because of those early lessons of helping and nurturing and taking care of everybody made it really hard because I was in charge. I didn't get to go ask people for help. And so asking people for help is still hard for me to this day.” – Ashanti (08:15) “It's exhausting to be a leader. It's exhausting to be strong for the family. It's exhausting to play all these roles because at least for me, I'm not in harmony with the natural world… So every day is exhausting because there's a mask to protect myself so I can make it through the day. When I say that I can feel that in my eyes. And I know that's still true for me. As much as I work on that, like I'm still taking these masks off and wrestling 'em down every day. Like, no, you stay down there. I'm just gonna show up.” – Aaron (13:12) Our Guests Ashanti Branch is the founder and executive director of The Ever Forward Club, which he started in 2004 to provide underserved middle and high school boys with a safe community to build character and transform lives. Since then, The Ever Forward Club has become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that serves both young men and women.

My guest today is a Social Wellness Advocate. He's committed to helping all of us find meaningful connection to self, other and community. In this conversation, he shares wise words about slowing down to connect to self, to better connect with another. The antidote to loneliness is belonging. Belonging takes courage, to show up as yourself. Aaron shares from the heart after decades of being in his head, focused on productivity as a path to success. His map of what success means has shifted as he considers his own humanity and re-prioritizes personal and social wellness. Building communities for like-minded humans to gather, to be witnessed in their triumphs and in their sorrows, this is what matters to Aaron. If you follow your wounds, you will likely find your calling he says, your way to make a unique difference in the world. This rings true for me, and many I know. His 4 top tips of how more men can get out of their heads and into their hearts (ps: it works for women and other folx too) 1. take more space for you 2. ask deeper questions of your life (like what's not working? what do you value?) 3. take stock of your relationships where you trust the container 4. notice your consumption: how do you spend time?

In episode 4.1 I discuss with Aaron Kahlow key findings from The State of Digital Marketing Talent report including:    1. There is a pervasive, deeply running digital marketing talent gap - a substantial difference between what employers value and what talent is available to them.   2. The industry is rife with missed opportunities in existing training and skills acquisition efforts - level setting programs are infrequently used and underutilized, impeding returns on marketing investment.    3. There is a broad sense of entitlement among young employees. Employers report a wide spread attitude of entitlement among young hires. This attitude results in significant risk of career self sabotage, and also interferes with the ability of the organization to generate results.   4. There is currently a need for solid, measurable and accurate digital talent education. Programs are sorely needed but few organizations implement any organized formal team training programs. Organizations aware of existing programs feel that these these programs are not adequate or sufficient for their needs.   This episode is sponsored by Crimson Hexagon.
