\nHave you (finally!) discovered the power of questioning your conclusions?
\nHave you ever successfully climbed the mountains of your aspirations \u2026 only to find utter disappointment there?
\n
\nIn this episode, my guest is, Lance Allred, the first deaf NBA basketball player in history.
\nLance just released a new book, The New Alpha Male, with Sounds True Publishers, and is also the TEDx Star of “What is Your Polygamy?” a video which currently has over 4.6 Million Views.
\n\u2026 but neither of those reasons are why I invited Lance on to Men This Way. There\u2019s plenty of men with popular books and huge video stats who don\u2019t live their message.\xa0
\nWhat most fascinated me about Lance is that he grew up in a strict, fundamentalist Mormom polygamist commune in rural Montana, before his family left at the age of 13.\xa0
\nSome of the stories he shared about his upbringing, and more importantly how he broke away mentally from his upbringing, really spoke to me \u2013 because I too grew up with some wildly prophetic, even conspiratorial viewpoints in one of the primary families which I grew up in, which came with massive expectations about the special role I was supposed to play in saving the world from itself. So I wanted to hear more from Lance about his life journey, from grandson of Rulon Allred, leader of the Apostolic United Brethren, a breakaway sect of polygamous Mormon fundamentalists in Utah, Colorado, and Arizona, often called “The Allred Group.” \u2013 who by the way was assassinated by the head of a rival polygamous sect \u2026 from that, to NBA basketball player, author, and an international corporate speaker.
\nWe cover a lot of ground in this episode, from the challenges and pressures of growing up in a polygamist sect, or any conspiratorial family system that puts the weight of saving the world on your shoulders \u2013 as happened to me \u2013 to the futility of trying to keep an intimate partner happy, to the importance of questioning the stories we live in (in our own heads), to the fear and disappointment that often awaits us when we finally achieve our dreams \u2013 all that and more \u2013 in this episode of \u201cMen, This Way\u201d \u2026
\nSo definitely stay tuned for Lance Allred’s 5 Key Takeaway’s at the end of this episode of Men, This Way \u2026
