David, a leading voice on emotional intelligence and empathy-based leadership, shares his personal journey from self-deception to self-acceptance. The episode kicks off with David recounting his struggle with childhood trauma and the pivotal moment when he nearly took his own life.
His story is raw and real, touching on the importance of authenticity and emotional safety in personal growth. David explains 'fierce empathy' as creating environments where people feel seen, heard, and loved, while also holding them accountable. He argues that true empathy isn't just about being nice but involves telling people what they need to hear, even if it's uncomfortable. This approach contrasts sharply with the 'nice guy' syndrome, which often leads to enabling bad behaviour and poor boundaries.

David emphasises the significance of taking responsibility for one's life and the pursuit of purpose.

Frank and David's candid discussion serves as a powerful reminder that true growth comes from facing uncomfortable truths and taking consistent action. Why not give it a listen? You might find the spark you need to start living your own superhuman life.
