I'm thrilled to share one of the more impactful conversations that I've had in recent memory. Joe Hudson is a world-renowned executive coach who works with tech leaders like Sam Altman of OpenAI.
His philosophies and ideas have been highly influential in my life and the work I do in the world.
We sat down in Northern California to discuss some of the first principles of inner work as well as common pitfalls that many folks will fall into along the way. Here are some of the specific topics that we explored:
Why does my wife trust Joe more after seeing how little tension he has in his belly?
How 7 years of breathwork rewired his capacity for authenticity + emotional expression
The reason self-trust + trust in life are actually the same skill
Why is enjoyment the most efficient way to work?
How true safety (ironically) requires acknowledging that we're never truly safe
The common trap that stagnates the personal growth of so many teachers (and how to avoid it)
The hilarious story behind Joe's secret nickname 'Burt McCracken' (and the trap of taking yourself too seriously)
One definition of narcissism is the inability to feel emotions
The reason that relational work accelerates personal transformation (compared to solo efforts)
I hope you enjoy watching this conversation as much as I appreciated having it!
