All right, team. Welcome back to The Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Biedin. And today we're going to be talking about regret, how to deal with it and why it might be one of the most important things that you've never considered in your life and your development. Before we dive into that, I just want to say thank you to everybody that's been subscribing to the YouTube and to the podcast. We've got over 20,000 subscribers on YouTube and on the

0:23.4

0:28.3

0:34.8

it? This is something that is, I almost said, near and dear to my heart.

0:39.7

But it's very, it's very true for me that I've lived a life where I've done a tremendous amount of

0:46.2

things. I've traveled the world. I've raised motorcycles. I had a career in construction.

0:50.9

I sang classical music. You know, I worked for Apple. I've done all of these things.

And I've also done some things that I have deeply regretted. I've acted out of integrity.

1:25.5

Show. And he brought it up where he talked about how Christopher Hitchin says, choose your regrets.

1:31.8

Choose your regrets.

1:33.2

And it was reminded of a conversation with a mentor of mine where I was talking about a challenge that I was having in my life.

1:41.3

And I wasn't really too sure if I wanted to leave my career at the time

1:44.4

and start to pursue a different career. And, you know, this mentor was teaching me all about

1:49.1

Jungian psychology and Taoism and these different therapeutic and spiritual modalities. And I just

1:55.9

couldn't tell if I wanted to leave the career. And he said, you know, Connor, this career is for

2:00.8

people that can't

2:01.6

see themselves doing anything else with their life. And I could see myself doing a tremendous
