What goals do we set for ourselves to be remarkable? And what do those milestones say about who we are and what we value?
In this second part of Jaynee’s three-part series we talk about how the goals and values we aspire to has a direct impact on all our closest relationships, especially in communicating what we believe is important to our children. Consider this as you listen to today’s conversation – how do our choice of heroes and goals impact those around us who may have different aspirations or values?
How well do we help those around us discover their own values and set their own, independent course?
This is one of the many areas where I did not do a good job as a parent. At the time, I was stuck in the binary thinking of one true path. I was beating myself up for falling short and wore blinders of exact obedience to the singular prescribed path. I certainly worked hard at instilling the same system in my kids.
In spite of my unskilled parenting, my kids eventually found their own beautiful path. I regret the many battles where I tried forcing them onto a foreign path. Even more, I feel that I robbed them of the wonderful gifts they could have given the world if I had been more supportive of helping them find their genuine path much sooner.

Previous Episode
ENCORE - Jaxon Flips the Script
Another first for SYK - A return visit from a previous guest - Jaxon (also my very first episode). In his dramatic comeback performance, Jaxon swaps roles with Brian and asks our host a few questions.
“It’s a relatively safe endeavor to ask others to be honest, vulnerable, and bold. To share intimate, deeply meaningful parts of their lives. It’s safe to press record, be the one asking questions and having final edit approval.
I truly appreciate the many guests who have answered the call and shared their stories on Strangers You Know. Today, even more so, because today, I’ve asked Jaxon, my very first guest, and in many ways, the genesis of this podcast to return to the studio. We exchanged some ideas on what he wanted to talk about and what the format might look like. In the end, he decided to switch roles with me so he could ask me a few questions. For those of you who listen to the end, he also gives us a quick update on a few things that have happened in his life since we first spoke seven months ago.
