I'm teaching myself my new narrative every single day, and I'm learning to be content and happy where I'm at. He's now expanding to other geos, which will at least double his multiple when he exits. But... The thing for him was, and this was a bit scary to say this to someone, but I said, I'm not going to give you a new external narrative. You don't need that.

You have all these extraordinary stories across your life. So those atomic stories are the fuel. And the way that you synthesize those was amazing. Like, I'm not going to be happy in these roles or I'm never going to be happy. I have to go to the next thing to find that happiness.

What we actually need to do is synthesize that and make different choices and uncover a new narrative, which is actually if you go deep where you're at, that's where you're going to find the contentment and happiness. And so it's actually rewriting the internal narrative versus the external narrative.

It sounds like you are visualizing each story or Lego brick as a piece of who you are, such as experiences, skills, moments, and memories you've collected over the years. Maybe you filled a specific narrative with those bricks, a structure you've told others and taught yourself for a long time.

By working with someone like you or learning your method, it's like I'm reorganizing those bricks in a new way, rearranging them, to create a fresh, evolved narrative. So even though people might say, wow, this is the whole new Vince, still me, using the same foundational pieces, I'm just combining them differently. Highlighting new connections and themes is like building a new structure.

But every piece is part of my story. Just reimagine.

I love that. So the one thing I would add to that to, in my mind, make that analogy. work incredibly well is you so you're the one that's building with those bricks so if we look at just the bricks on their own that shows us a static structure that's made up of those stories so I 100% agree with that And then you are the dynamic piece of that.

You are the one who comes in and assembles those pieces from your past to assemble those new potential futures and that narrative. So I just want to zoom out or pull out slightly so that it definitely incorporates you in the energy that you bring, because that's what we do is really we're shaping those pieces from our past. So, yes, absolutely love that analogy.

My own sense of self-awareness has grown over time. Now I talk to different people like entrepreneurs who say, oh, I know myself better than anyone else. And they have a lot of confidence in their own self-awareness. But telling our own story, crafting our narrative, or even deciding which breaths to use and how to erase them isn't that easy because we all have blind spots.

So my question for you is, what are some common blind spots or barriers that make telling our own story or building self-awareness so challenging? And why is it helpful to bring in someone like you to help with this process?
