Anyone who has been in a loving marriage will tell you that there are peaks and valleys along the way. So what happens when things aren’t going so well?   For some, playing the blame game and pretending you’re the victim is the natural response. But as today’s guest will tell you, when you fully surrender and ask yourself some tough questions about your role in the relationship, a pathway to move forward in the midst of a dark time can be found.  After enjoying tremendous success for over 20 years as a serial entrepreneur, Brent Perkins’ life shifted in 2021 with a difficult divorce. This led him on a journey of personal growth and a book called Papercuts: The Art of Self-Delusion.  Brent is a Dad to two amazing daughters and has already made a huge impact in our FRD Brotherhood. His contributions have led to a significant increase in participation in our Bands which has been awesome to watch. So, today we’re talking about what it really means to surrender, the role that blissful ignorance plays in our relationships and how the truths that we believe can become illusions. And if we can embrace the art of self-delusion in a positive way, we can flip the narrative and move forward in a happier and healthier way. In our conversation, you’ll learn:  Strategies for modeling, trust, vulnerability, and awareness in our kids. The difference between surrendering and victimhood. How to recognize, unpack, and shatter our self-delusions.   Some of my favorite moments of the conversation:  Surrendering to the good and bad in life without playing the victim game.  Pitfalls to our pursuit of personal growth. Moments that build anxiety and fear in ourselves. Guiding our kids to vulnerability and earning their trust.   Want to help others? Help yourself first.  Being grateful for the moments when we were jerks. The power of creating space to be vulnerable with other men. How we unintentionally harm those that try to support us.   Get the Full Show Notes Want access to the full show notes, including links to all resources mentioned during today's conversation?
