Ep. 101 Out Of Class - Self Reflection, Shadow, Joy
Life needs contrast; light and dark go hand in hand. Understanding that challenges and hardships are as integral as joys can make life easier to navigate. Embracing both helps us appreciate the full spectrum of our experiences.
Ep. 101 Out Of Class - Self Reflection, Shadow, Joy
Social media shows only the best parts of life, hiding the shadow, the struggles and difficulties. This creates a false sense of perfection until reality hits and people see the challenges they’ve been missing. The full picture of life includes both the good and the bad.
Ep. 101 Out Of Class - Self Reflection, Shadow, Joy
Is denial a strategy to not change for the better? denial is a psychological defense mechanism to avoid confronting uncomfortable truths. This avoidance can hinder personal growth and positive change by keeping individuals stuck in detrimental patterns.
Episode 101. Out Of Class - Self Reflection, Shadow, Joy
The relentless pace of modern life leaves little room for reflection or proper planning, resulting in a cycle of stress and missed appointments.
There is so much noise and distraction in today’s society which allows us to pass up on things we have already committed to.
Why are we rigid? Does it have to do with age? Do we become more rigid and less flexible when we get older?
Ego doesn't look in the mirror, Because it is ugly. At time we choose what we want to see not what we need to see
What is the actual cost of something being good?
Have you paused to think about the cost of something being good?
Whose cup are you filling first?

When was your last preventative break?
Where you are standing, really determines how you see things. Your perspective is determined by how you interpret the evidence.
We may have the same piece of evidence and two different people looking at it and have two different views, which leads to two different realities.
Which one is correct?
Do you follow silly rules?
When was the last time you took stock of the rules your follow?
Most people are living in a constant state of stress in some shape or form, living below that sub-symptomatic.
So majority of the time, it only takes a small knock to go out of balance.

Negative reinforcement with connection...try it on
Episode 85 Out Of Class - Negative Reinforcement, Connection and Serenity
This week Gines and Ben are at the same location, while Matt tunes in from Indonesia. Matt chats about how his microbiome changed and got a shock to the system this time around coming back to Indonesia.
Ben had the puppy whisperer come over and they mentioned there should be negative reinforcement when training a dog.
Gines makes a comparison to why we don't do that actively with children anymore. Mainstream society is shy to let children know they are doing something wrong. But if they do tell them they are doing something wrong, it is so PC the watered down it has no effect on the children's behaviour. They acknowledge that there is always extremes that are still very present in society.
The serenity prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Out Of Class - Actively Healing, The Dark Side, Duality
Gines, Ben, and Matt are back again to bring you another episode of Life Long Learner.
Ben shares how he has been battling an eye infection over the last couple of weeks. The process of healing is an act of participating not just delegating to the the body to heal itself.
The fellas shared that when they were younger the care for the body was not there as much and it would seem to take care of itself. However, now you need to actively participate in the healing, otherwise, there are two options; you don't heal or it takes a lot longer than needed.
During this time we watched a lot of Star Wars. For those of you who know about Star Wars, there is a good side and a dark side. They dive into the 'Dark Side' and what that really means. The dark side comes from fear-based decision-making. Most of the time the dark side leads to unresourceful processes and outcomes.
However, do we need to have both to be able to exist?
Is there a difference between fear-based thinking and hedging your bets and being conservative?

Our recent guest Jason, share the importance to be hungry to learn. Stretch yourself to grow and think outside the box. Very often we play in a comfortable space and we don't learn, to don't stretch our thinking, and a lot of the time we remain in the same spot.
New Episode!
Episode 83 Learning From Jason Robinson - Hunger to Learn.
This week Gines to joined my special guest Jason Robinson. Jason co-founded Future Advisory, a boutique accounting and advisory firm that won the 2022 Xero Accounting Firm of the Year. He is a member of Deputy chair of the CPA Public Practice Committee, Co-Host of The Numbers Game Podcast, founder of Coff&Co coffee roasters, and dabbled in a Gin company. It is fair to say Jason does quite a few things.
They cover a range of topics that include growing pains, team culture, and performance standards, we chat about the need for family trusts and some of the misconceptions. Gines asks why people are loyal to their accountants, unlike health professionals. Where we get a second opinion, however, for an accountant we do not seem to do that.

Episode. 82 Out Of Class- What do you stand for? Banana peels and Censorship
This week we check in on week one for Ben's new addition to his family, Brom, his new Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Ben shares how his schedule how as gone out of whack and he is trying to bring order to it.
Brom doesn't seem to want to walk on the lead at the moment for Ben, as he hadn't watched a youtube tutorial as of yet!
Gines and Matt, challenge the notion that Ben thinks he is flexible, when certain things like his coffee order, he is clearly not.
Is a banana peel out the window littering? Even if it is going to break down and be good for the environment?
Are we living in a world full of censorship? Currently, there is so much censorship, that we do not encourage challenging the norm. So how do we collectively come to a better decision?

Episode 81. Out Of Class - Its' okay not be okay, Getting a dog & Hearing aids
In this episode, Gines shares that he has been a bit flat lately, and Ben acknowledges the value of being honest. This does not mean taking a woe me approach but being aware it is not all sunshine and rainbows.
They explore the notion, for there to be light there needs to be a shadow, to have a mountain peak there must be a valley and etc. So often we do not look at the need for the shadow. In the personal development world, there is a brighter light shining, which means there is a darker shadow.
Also, we chat about Ben getting a dog and how it is going to be different this time.
They explore, Ben's existential crisis when he finds out he needs hearing aids!

This week Ben poses a question, "What does healthy, strong beautiful masculinity look like? As they dance around answering the question, the fellas realise that in today's society, it is a hard question to answer due to all the nuances.
Also, they explore the notion of a toxic environment, as opposed to toxic masculinity or feminity. Also the value of children having positive role models in each section of their life.

Episode 77. Out Of Class - Hiking, Long Hard, Following Markers
This week it is just Ben and Gines. Ben shares his journey on his recent long hike. It was a little bit more than he expected! Unexpected heat, a sore foot, new shoes, and not doing much walking all added up.
The fellas this week chat about long hard things versus short hard things. There is so much value in what you can learn about yourself during such things.
Also, there is so much value in voluntarily doing long hard things.
Life is will give you markers, plenty of them, however, they do not mean much if you do not follow up.
