Preamble

Last November (2023), I listened to a podcast I like called Front Row Dads (thanks Tom W). The guest was Brian Johnson, and he was on a podcast tour promoting his book, “Arete” (pronounced are-uh-tay). His message instantly resonated with me. Sometimes there’s a profound truth you can physically feel (somehow). I could feel it deep down - Brian was on to something important. He was talking about stuff I had studied in Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations (my favorite book). He was making connections with CBT (which I learned when I was a kid). He was talking about changing (a profoundly sick) society from victims into heroes, starting with you and me. I was attracted to his company Heroic like a compass is drawn to North. So I downloaded their app, plugged at the end of the podcast. From there I got on their email list, where I learned about their coach training program. As somebody who leads a team every day, I knew that upgrading my coaching skills would be directly applicable to my effectiveness with my team. So I convinced my HR director to foot the bill.
