Hey Ryan I've been tuning into your podcasts regularly for a little over a month now and they are very helpful. They are really opening my eyes so alot of my downfalls. I've been trying to work on myself for me but also for my family for quite some time now and these are helping me push forward so I want to thank you. One thing I'd say about having the training and being able to say I don't know how to do that. I've always had that mentality because if I go to do something that I don't know how to do and I fail it makes me look bad. I could argue that if I succeed I could be given more and I have to continue to figure it and when if I horribly fail after even one successful "mission" that makes me look even worse. Another thing is I have held leadership roles at many of my places of employment and if I give someone a task that they don't know how to do it is their fault if they fail. I've always been open and honest with my subordinates and told them if they don't know tell me I'll teach them. Unfortunately I couldn't always remember what everyone has been taught. And there have even been people that were more senior to me but equal level that I've taught things and they have taught me things. So I think that that level of vulnerability to express you don't know something really only benefits you and giving those under you that ability to at least be that vulnerable with you also benefits you as well as them because then you have another person with that new skill as a notch in their belt. Food for thought
This is excellent. You are right on the money. Not only do you encapsulate the problem but you provide the solution. I was able to make this shift when I switched to problem-solving mode instead of thinking that people were f'in with me.

I haven’t tuned in and watched for a while, but glad I did. This is really good and thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏🏼
