Highlights

• Eric explains how learning how to honor people allowed him to become more complete and better as a podcast host.
• We are all the same and are all on the same journey, just different flavors.
• When we share our stories with each other, it connects us.
• Technology, especially Zoom, allows us to connect in a whole new way to so many more people and become inter-generational.
• When you are more deliberate about the connections you make, you get more out of it.
• Platforms like Facebook allow our connections to go wide. Being more deliberate with our connections allows us to go deep, which allows us to feel more connected.
• Eric gives us a picture into his background and his upbringing which led him to do the kind of work he does today and why he is so interested in emotional intelligence.
• In his work, Eric talks about four archetypes: Warrior, Lover, King, Hero.
• The Lover side is the emotional side, which is harder for men than the Warrior side, which is easy for them.
• With women, the King becomes the Queen and women often like moving into that energy.
• Aggression is the downside of the Warrior. He talks about how Mother Teresa was a fierce Warrior without being aggressive – quite the contrary.
• We all have the masculine and feminine within us and each is a unique combination of those two energies.
• Your brain is your biggest enemy when you want to change. Your heart may want to change, but your brain will lead you to resist the change.
