S2E3 - Choose your advisors carefully 07.02.2026 46:36
Advisors who sound nice and insightful may not be informed about the problem that you may be experiencing. If you are uncertain or unclear, or even mistaken about the problem that you think you need to solve, you will go down the wrong rabbit hole and create more problems instead of solving the ones you have. A good advisor will help you identify the real issue rather than issues that your emotion...

Episode 062 - Grooming Children 11.12.2025 48:50
Understanding the impact that you have on your children will allow you to make more informed parenting decisions about how you’re raising them. A child with a low or unhealthy self-esteem is more likely to be drawn into the fake promises or unrealistic appeal of those out to manipulate them. Realising the impact of your approach to giving them space and connecting with them will create opportunity...
Episode 061 - Character or flex 28.11.2025 48:26
Your character is defined by what you think of yourself, while you social stature is about what others think of you. When you focus on social stature, you become a slave to social expectations and lose yourself to how others respond to you. When you focus on character, on substance, on what connects with purpose in your life, you’ll attract the social stature that has merit from those who recognis...
Episode 060 - Gender Bias (Understanding Men) 20.11.2025 48:04
The problem is greater than appears on the surface because men, unlike women, generally lack the emotional competence to explain how they feel or why they feel that way beyond their immediate reaction to something. This is not necessarily a deficiency, it’s just how men rationalise life, and the world around them. Watch this episode to gain fresh perspectives about what makes a man tick, and what...
Episode 059 - Feminism...and other isms 17.11.2025 44:25
This is a bold but insightful discussion looking closer at the feminist movement and its impact on society. Far from diminishing the importance of its objectives, this discussion explores whether the approach and its origins are improving society, or simply reversing the harm that they set out to address. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get acc...
Episode 058 - Old School Values 07.11.2025 50:40
Perhaps the reason why generational wealth is being discarded in favour of contemporary trends in mainstream mental health is because we talk about why things are important, but we don’t create opportunity to experience it. We pass on generational wisdom by living the values with our families, and not by reprimanding them into compliance about it. It is the value of what we believe is important th...
Episode 057 - Honouring family ties 30.10.2025 45:31
The trend of cutting off parents for emotionally charged reasons is massively detrimental to the long-term wellbeing of all affected persons. This is especially true for the children of the ones who are cutting off ties with extended family members, and especially they own parent, leaving the children without a set of grandparents. Cutting people off in general usually solves the wrong problem and...
