episode 5: The Profound Power of humility and vulnerability
Today’s Tuesday episode unpacks a central theme in Thursday’s episode with Benthino Massaro: Humility and vulnerability. Jonny thinks back to a time in his rugby career when he wrote a book, aged 24, just after the 2003 Rugby World Cup, in which he shared his life ethos and ‘formula for success’. Filled with rigid ‘dos’ and ‘don'ts’, ‘shoulds’ and ‘shouldn’ts’, he recognises how it was far more of an fear driven effort to conceal his own insecurities than it was any sort of genuine offering to anyone else. Jonny looks into how all we ever pass on to others is how we truly are on the inside. The alternative to trying to control this journey is to accept just how much we don’t know about life or anything else for that matter. We can’t always guide those we love and care about, but through humility and embracing our vulnerability we can offer them our full presence and attention and unleash the transformative power of connection and collaboration.
As ever Jonny is always keen to hear from anyone listening - so if you have questions that you’d like answered, please email hello@Iampodcast.co.uk or comment in the reviews section.
