Are You Sacrificing Success for Others' Comfort? with Barrett Brooks

Can you explain that concept? Maximum agency? Experiences like this sit in the shadows either of our hearts and souls, or in the shadows of families and family units or of society. Because they're taboo. We don't want to talk about them. And when we accept that we must be quiet, we lose a part of ourselves. I think I lose a part of myself. I know if I think I must be quiet about my actual experience of life. And so maximum agency was saying, this is my story. It is not my job to protect you. It is not my job to look out for you. It is my job to heal and advocate and make meaning of this. Make this worth something to me. Because the more I can speak about this, I think the more it empowers other men to speak about their experiences.
