\\nAre you living inside of stressful stories that don\\u2019t serve your life?
\\nWhy should you be aware of the emotional triggers in your body?
\\nDo you know what your core values are?
\\n
\\nIn this episode, my guest is Tayo Rockson.
\\nTayo Rockson is a man whose work I\\u2019m just beginning to learn about. He\\u2019s been a podcast host since 2014 \\u2013 which I was very impressed to learn about \\u2013 but more than that, I admire his work as a co-founder at UYD Management (which I believe stands for Use Your Differences) – a strategic consulting firm that empowers organizations to incorporate sustainable diversity and inclusion practices.
\\nNow, those are interesting words – diversity and inclusion \\u2013 that in our currently polarized society can trigger a variety of responses depending on the listener, from appreciation and gratitude to resistance and anger to just pure indifference. But that\\u2019s what makes Tayo\\u2019s work so important.\\xa0
\\nWe are clearly living in a time when the differences between people are being increasingly highlighted and blown up in ways that are leading to actual violence.\\xa0
\\nSo learning how to navigate our differences, in ways that preserve partnership, is essential. If we genuinely want to live in a world where we all get to feel safe, nourished, and supported to live good lives.\\xa0
\\nSeems to me that\\u2019s what Tayo\\u2019s work is all about, and why I invited him onto Men, This Way.
\\nAs the son of a diplomat, Tayo grew up immersed in the nuances of multicultural diversity by living on four different continents. He\\u2019s since become a world renowned speaker, and he\\u2019s the author of Use Your Difference To Make A Difference: How to Connect and Communicate in a Cross-Cultural World.\\u201d In 2020, he launched the national anti-racism campaign called #LetsTalkBias.
\\nIn our conversation today, Tayo and I explore a life journey that began for him with a near-death car accident at age 22. We talk about strategies for bridging painful differences with the people we love. We talk about the value and practice of courage.
\\nWe talk about all that, and more.\\xa0
\\nOne more thing, my new book, \\u201cCHOOSE HER EVERYDAY OR LEAVE HER\\u201d recently hit #12 on Amazon in the Dating genre. Overnight it shot up from 59,000th in all sales to 1600th in all sales. Now, I have no idea what any of that really means, except that it means people are buying it and reading it and word is spreading and they\\u2019re getting real value out of it \\u2026 \\u201cChoose Her Every Day Or Leave Her\\u201d \\u2013 essential reading for any man or woman who genuinely wants to thrive in intimacy. Go get it online wherever you buy your books.
\\nTake a deep breath, and stay present with us, all the way through to Tayo\\u2019s 5 Key Takeaway’s at the end of this episode of Men, This Way \\u2026
\\nAlright \\u2026
\\nLet\\u2019s dive \\u2026
