When father blew the whistle on child abuse, ond money laundry and we went into hiding when i was 13. So people's inability to cut their losses is exploited in cult structures. And it's nothing, has nothing to do with rational or logic at all. It's pure emotion. People get the immediate reward of knowing that they're safe by seeing everyone around them agreeing to the same unspoken contracts. The rules that allow us to believe that our team is the best team. Coby versus lebron. You know, well, how did people id which polygamous ruler to follow? And i just haid, easy, coby or lebron. What team do you
Lance Allred was born legally deaf in a polygamist commune in rural Montana. When he was 13, his family escaped and eventually came out of hiding in Utah, where for the first time, he had to step into a world that he had no experience navigating. Lance had always loved writing, but at nearly 6’4” in middle school, and looking for a new way to belong, his height caught the eye of the basketball coach. The game became his life and he'd eventually become a star athlete that led to college, then years playing all over the world in the pros, including a stint in the NBA. But, underneath it all, Lance never left his love of writing, and he began to share his inner life in print, authoring a number of books and eventually leaving the game to speak to and train leaders. In his newest book, The New Alpha Male, (https://amzn.to/2Ub4d6W) Lance turns his deeply reflective, insightful, and honest lens on the role of masculinity, how his experience of it has changed dramatically since becoming a dad and what he leads with now. In today’s conversation, we explore all of this, including a really beautiful moment where the truer, deeper reason for this book, and who it’s really written for, comes out.
