Josh, welcome to the show.TOTD – “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”                                              Brene BrownBuild a habit - to create intention - to live your purpose!In this episode:What was life like growing up?What are your life’s essential ingredients?Father of three children, husband, coach, facilitator…Providing NOURISHMENTThe importance of TOUCH…Tell us about Mensch and let’s start with telling the listeners what it means?  Yiddish translation is to be a person of integrity and honor…How did it start?What does it mean to take the ARMOUR off… what does that mean, why do men wear it and how do you help your clients learn how to take it off…Nursing….SELF CARE… often so hard to care for ourselves over caring for others…Life is a CARGO SHIP… explain…The power of NO…How important is commitment to building trust and comradery……Reframing, reprogramming…what being a man means…The POWER of a tribe… community- specifically the power of sharing…One on one coaching…Courage, Generosity, Fellowship, PresenceLiving life with intentionPacks, Quests, Guides, Community Gatherings…Books you recommend?Legacy
