Facing the messy depths within takes guts, but that’s where real growth lies. Those who mine emotional gold through vulnerability and self-reflection will forge the strongest, most inspiring bonds and transform how they lead. Living shallowly protects the ego, but diving deep is the only way to your best self – and to guide others to theirs.
This week, Daniel sits with Anthony Perez, a business coach and author who draws from his experience as a Navy veteran and entrepreneur. He works with companies to develop strong leadership and increase employee engagement through training focused on emotional intelligence and building a positive organizational culture.
Listen in as Daniel and Anthony tackle some of the toughest issues men grapple with— suppressing emotions, living on the surface, and believing asking for help is a weakness. They also discuss how negative emotions can manifest physically, why it’s crucial to release that “junk in the trunk”, the key to overcoming frustration and growing your leadership potential, and the secret to forging stronger connections.
“We find ourselves evaluating ourselves. And sometimes, it's not a good evaluation. Be present. Enjoy the now and be kinder to yourself.” —Anthony Perez
