E306: Letting Go of Armor with Special Guest Ryan Windsor
E306 Introduction
Hello Basecampers, I hope you are all doing well. Getting back into the swing of things at the start of Season #8. Like I mentioned before, I am likely to keep this coming out every Tuesday as opposed to every other week (which is something I have thought about). However, I can see making more shorter-format Firestarter episodes with just yours truly as I unpack what is sure to be an epic year (no matter how you see things).
What is the edge for you this year Basecamper? Is it better self-care? More courage? A clearer vision of the next chapter in your Hero‘s Journey? What inner work are you committed to doing? Maybe it’s a better connection to God, Christ, or the Divine (however you conceive the Divine)? Maybe it’s carrying yourself with greater dignity and self-respect? Or maybe finding new levels and pockets of humility in yourself, recognizing that we are all deep inside of a mystery and none of us truly have all the answers.
My guest and I go into some of these today along with some other juicy topics. Before we get to the interview, I wanted to share a couple of quotes that I think are relevant.
“Anyone who isn’t embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn’t learning enough. “
Alain de Botton, British philosopher
“It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received. It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters.”
Amit Ray
Now onto our sponsor and our guest. Enjoy the episode.
