Oh my gosh. Bryan. So many thoughts! My daughter listened to part of our recent interview, and her return comment was "I thought you said this podcast was going to be funny." It made me laugh a lot, her brutal honesty, but also, I listened to it again, and was impressed by our mutual earnestness. Sometimes there's a time and place for humor, and there's a time to dig a little deeper. I love seeing the new ways you are showing up in the world, and I am so happy to have reconnected with you in this new evolution. I think the funny is still there, it's just taken a new and more subtle form, one that laughs from deeper inside than before. But funny or not funny, you are an amazing human and I am so glad to know you.
Thanks Bryan. Thanks for bringing words to a feelings/experiences I have had about my own life lately. It’s interesting…this self-imposed prison…cocoon… time to fly..
“Maybe you’ve pulled back after a loss, or a change, or a decision that altered how the world sees you.” Yes, that one (right) decision has made all the difference. “One minute, I held the key, next the walls closed on me….people couldn’t believe what I’d become.” From one people would come to looking for innovation to one who’d they’d run from because of invalidation.
I get it, Bryan. I remain convinced it’ll all work out in the end.

Thank you, this is powerful and vulnerable. I admire you for sharing your wisdom—identifying the difference between connection vs protection.
You wouldn't be who you are without having been who you were. It's a beautiful journey, sir.
Thank you for your beautiful example. Invitation accepted.
Wonderful read, beautifully vulnerable. Much love!
