Fostering Connections Through Vulnerability with Dylan Conway from BrothersNBooks

Ever since Brené Brown’s TEDtalk, we’ve been waking up to the fact that vulnerability is the key to authenticity, connection, stronger relationships, and personal growth. An in-depth discussion about the courage and power of vulnerability with a member of the armed forces is perhaps not a typical combination, but that’s exactly what this is. My guest Dylan’s candour, humour, and insightful commentary brought so many layers to this episode and I cannot wait for you to hear it.

CAPT Dylan Conway is an Infantry Officer in the Australian army, writer, and founder and CEO of the charity brothersnbooks which has a beautiful community on Instagram and Facebook. He encourages reading as a form of meditation, self growth and resilience after suffering an injury that placed him in bed for 14 months.

Oh, and he’s now a publisher too! His poetry book “In Plain Sight“ by Shaun Austin is out now, and already a best seller in multiple categories.

Dylan and I talk about what vulnerability is, the negative connotations, how it enriches our lives, how we personally foster it in ourselves, and about using it to connect with others. And of course, plenty of books.

I hope that this conversation gives you good laughs, new ways of thinking, and some extra encouragement to bravely open yourself up. It's scary, but definitely worth it.

Keep well,

Paula
