Summary

Jason Connell is a speaker, former magician, and a writer on personal development. Jason discusses with Roger and Connor on today's show about successfully moving through life transitions and accepting the new challenges that come from taking action. Jason also talks on the subject of manhood and some of the key things our everyday modern man struggles with in a society littered with social media. Key Takeaways: [1:35] What was Jason's defining moment as a man? [4:00] It's hard to follow/discover a path you were meant to follow. Many people wake up to a 9-5 job they hate. [5:40] Millennials are feeling much more disconnected with others. [7:40] Jason talks about his career as a magician. [9:25] You don't have to follow the same path for the rest of your life. [10:40] Men suffer from the 'lack of money' barrier. [12:15] Jason is slowly winding down on his 8-year company, Ignited Leadership. [15:20] We're prone to stick with what we know – even if it makes us unhappy. [17:20] Your own brain is often not enough. You need to take action. [20:00] Transition is hard. So give yourself some slack. [21:25] What does a strong support system look like to Jason? [23:00] One piece of advice to modern men? Stop being so strong and break down. [25:15] What kind of things do Millennials struggle with? [28:35] Keep in mind you can fail and it's no big deal. [31:00] Want to change but not sure how? Get a coach or a psychologist. [35:00] When you're more authentic with yourself, you become more attractive to women. [37:25] Sex, money, or status does not validate your manhood. [38:30] What kind of legacy would Jason like to leave behind?

0:00.0	The first thing you have to do is realize that you're going to have to take action.
0:04.5	You've got some living yet to do. I won't give up on you. See these machines.
0:14.4	Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of the Mant Talks podcast. My name is Roger Nairn.
0:18.5	And I'm Connor B. Today's guest is Mr. Jason Connell. Jason has gone
0:23.5	through a roller coaster in life. And along that journey, he has discovered the most beautiful
0:27.3	of life lessons that only life experiences can teach. From a very young age, Jason Connell was
0:33.0	obsessed with perception, behaviors, and psychology, where he started this career as a child entertainer
0:38.5	who performed over 300 live magic shows before his 18th birthday. After high school, Jason attended
0:43.6	a small liberal arts college for a few semesters before realizing this wasn't life he wanted to live.
0:48.4	So he packed up his things and traveled the world to experience it firsthand. His travels dispelled
0:53.0	the illusions of limitations that hold us
0:54.7	back from our dreams and allowed him to channel his inner potential to become the successful
0:58.2	coach he is today. His journey was challenging. Jason had to deal with financial struggle,

1:11.6	confidence, authenticity, self-compassion, and self-love because the single most important
1:16.9	relationship you'll ever have is a relationship with yourself. So without further ado, let's bring
1:21.8	on Mr. Jason Connell.
1:27.0	Hey Jason, welcome to the Man Talks podcast. Thanks so much for joining us.
1:30.6	My pleasure. I'm excited to be here. Awesome. So before we get started, we always like to ask our guests if they can share with us a defining moment for them as a man.
1:39.4	Sure. I haven't talked about this for a long time. One of the mistakes that I was making as a man, and one of the mistakes that I see a lot of men making is that I was playing small.
1:52.7	I was pretending like I didn't matter, as pretending like people didn't care about me, as pretending like the words I said and the actions I took had no consequence whatsoever
