Facing rejection "like a man".
09/08/23 • 10 min
The first time I had a crush on a girl, I got rejected. Brutally! And that has shaped my life in ways that I didn't even realise for decades! Our aversion to rejection shapes us, gents, as much as our fear of failure does. What's more, this male attitude towards rejection is actually very dangerous for women. So what can we do about it? I'm not sure. I have some thoughts. Pls listen to this episode. And maybe you can come up with some solutions.

Why fathers should NOT choose their child's profession! (do this instead)
Getting into a profession is the MOST important decision your child & you will ever make. But in today's times, kids resent their fathers pushing that decision on them; and with good reason. Fathers evaluate professions on the scale of how lucrative or "safe" they are in their own generation. And have a terrible aversion to risk. But this attitude will not set your child on the course of happiness and greatness. Teens, on the other hand, also don't make decisions based on information & aptitude. So often, their aspirations are limited to Model, Actor or influencer. How can we come together to choose the right profession? In this episode, Rajiv speaks candidly about his experience with his father, as well as his son. and lays out a roadmap to navigate this high-stakes maze, and at the same time, build a stronger bond of trust with each other.

How to have 'Tough Conversations'.
A guy being described as being a 'Nice guy' is like a girl being described as having a 'Good Personality'. Perfectly genuine & acceptable compliments... but they sting.
That's because men who are described as nice guys are generally considered timid & non-assertive. They tend to avoid confrontation.
That's because most of us don't know the art of having tough conversations. Everything need not become an emotional confrontation for you to impose your will on your circumstance.
In this episode, we talk about the art of having tough conversations. How to approach it... how to prepare for it... and the tricks to use to mentally gain control the outcome . Take out your pad & pen, coz you'll want to write these down.
