Well, tell me more. I'm kind of a naive listener, and I don't understand this vulnerability consent thing. What does that mean? Should I just walk up to somebody and say, would you prefer a handshake or a hug?

Yeah. If you're not ashamed yourself, then your former liability becomes a huge plus. And that's hard for people to understand until they've experienced it, which might be one of the benefits of this workshop. And what you said, Jacob, was 200% true, is that intellectual learning is isn't worth anything. You have to experience it at the gut level to see that it's really true.
