In this episode of Run Toward the Roar, John Robertson explores the silent but pervasive issue of drifting in both personal life and leadership roles.
John begins the conversation by emphasizing how recognizing and addressing our own personal needs is not just a matter of self-care but a critical step towards growth and development.
He underlines the creation of a new norm, guiding listeners towards establishing long-term values that stand strong against life's pressing urgencies. This segment is a clarion call to mindful living and definitive action that undercuts aimless drift.
The peril of drifting is likened to sailing unanchored, where neglect leads to a lack of effort, energy, and guidance in life’s vast waters.
An insightful point brought into focus is the concept of Continuous Partial Attention (CPA), a modern-day predicament where we find ourselves in a never-ending state of crisis management, consequentially sidestepping essential tasks and values.
The episode drives home how drifting can leave us failing to honor our truths, and void of common sense, taking listeners through the warning signs and outcomes of letting life's current pull us without resistance.
John is doing market research to determine how he can best support this community. If you would be willing to have a 20-minute conversation to help in that market research, please email [email protected]. He is only seeking input without asking for sign-ups or commitments.
What to expect in this episode:
00:00 Grateful for ongoing conversation, focusing on challenges.
04:12 Man offers to return check, later regrets.
06:26 Key takeaway: Embrace change and take decisive action.
10:56 Business success through pruning, altruism in crisis.
15:36 Drifting away from long term values and relationships.
19:10 Continuous partial attention hinders focus and truth.
22:26 Neglecting basic truths leads to negative consequences.
25:31 Practice and reinforcement lead to growth.
27:44 Financial challenges, neglected books, overburdened with responsibilities.
32:31 Empowerment, action, community, and podcast growth.

He emphasizes the importance of faith in living purposefully and thriving, drawing parallels between true North and magnetic North as a metaphor for staying on course in life. By connecting to social support and core values, John stresses the significance of not drawing a line in the sand, but in wet concrete to truly thrive.

In this episode of Run Toward The Roar, host John Robertson delves into the theme of transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability in relationships. Drawing inspiration from philosopher Hannah Arendt’s experience of rejection by a group, Robertson examines the fear of being transparent about who we are. He challenges listeners to ponder whether they can relate to this fear and emphasizes the importance of finding genuine connections in order to thrive and live our true values.
John explores different levels of sharing in relationships, highlighting the significance of finding listeners who can truly handle transparency and vulnerability. As he encourages listeners to confront the superficial appearance of relationships, the episode delves into the depth of communication, ranging from surface-level conversations to genuine, vulnerable interactions. John shares a personal story about sitting with someone who listened without speaking, sparking a powerful, emotive exchange and reinforcing the importance of moral courage and deep relationships.
Throughout the episode, John discusses the concept of faith in a broader context beyond religious beliefs, linking it to the acceptance of experiences and values in our lives. He urges listeners to resist succumbing to the crowd's influence and to stand against the urgent in order to maintain genuine connections and relationships. Drawing from real-world examples such as the Tylenol and Shower to Shower companies' responses to crises, John illustrates the importance of moral courage and transparency in navigating life's challenges.
As the episode progresses, John shares a captivating story about Matilda, who borrowed a valuable necklace, lost it, and replaced it with a costly one using borrowed money. It took her and her husband years of hard work and sacrifice to repay the borrowed amount, only to discover that the original necklace was worth much less than the replacement. This anecdote serves as a powerful metaphor for the depth of communication and relationships, emphasizing the significance of genuine connections, honesty, and moral courage.
Finally, John encourages his audience to participate in the conversation, seeking input and guidance for market research on forming a pilot group for a deeper level huddle. He expresses the need for a community where individuals can be transparent and vulnerable, reflecting on the possibility of creating a deeper level huddle for sharing values and emotions. With a teaser for a future conversation about navigating life's challenges and the existence of "two norths," the episode leaves listeners eager to engage in deeper, more meaningful discussions.
What to expect in this episode:
00:00 Afraid to be transparent and genuine.
05:31 Encourage mutual transparency and authenticity for growth.
09:48 Choose what matters for genuine, transparent connections.
13:57 Friend reveals false value of borrowed necklace.

Episode: RTTR017 | Doing Something Religiously Without Being Religious
When a call for change is needed to prevent a worse outcome, we view the cost in terms of the probability of that even happening in the near future. In most cases, we often pay a higher price, not because we did not see it happening, but because we mistakenly believe it would not happen.

He also talks about the different kinds of love as a power source and shares his very interesting definition of real love. He also gives a lesson on whom you should be nurturing relationships with and gives an application challenge towards the end of the conversation.

Episode: RTTR016 | Through the Tunnel to Live with Purpose and Passion
Our past gives us the lessons we take to heart, as well as the warnings and caution that drives our decisions to play it safe. It helps explains our present, but it does not and should not dictate our future.

Practicing forgiveness and grace will never be easy, but it is a way to move forward in order to thrive.
