Robert Kandell, host of the Tuff Love podcast joins me for a conversation about how to have authentic relationships in business, social, and with romantic partners. 
Bringing "tough love" and having tough conversations is not easy, and often uncomfortable, but the payoffs for the quality of your relationships is huge. 

Robert has a new book our called unHIDDEN: A Book for Men and Those Confused by Them, and you can find that (and pre-order) on his website.

Quick reference for this show, we cover:

• The Junkyard dog - a real archetype that the world needs
• How to improve your self-esteem and find freedom
• How men remain hidden in the world

  1. Confront - face the uncomfortable reality you've been avoiding
  2. Investigate - explore that reality. Find answers. Find sanity.
  3. Commit - Make a decision to DO something
  4. Design a strategy - make it achievable, don't white-knuckle it
  5. Complete the milestone - complete the cycle
  6. Celebrate - Actually celebrate, physically.
  7. Debrief - find our where you can restructure
  8. Repeat - Do another cycle
