Silver Bullet Experiences

On maintaining a growthful state of consciousness in your daily life. Men often cease to emphasize the day-in and day-out practices that will actually make a difference, because they’re waiting for a big experience or breakthrough of some kind that will ignite them and motivate them.  We want to bring a more critical eye and a constructive approach to how to integrate those moments,  prepare for them, and do the work on a day-to-day basis.  There’s a sobriety in realizing that no matter how far these experiences and journeys take you, they’ll always drop you back off where you were. You have to come back into your own life and continue doing that work, showing up day after day in the hard moments, to practice something different.  Listen to hear more from Ryan and Slade on how you can stop waiting for silver bullet experiences and instead start integrating practices for emotional growth into your daily life.
