Welcome to the Art of Accomplishment, where we explore how deepening connection with ourselves and others leads to creating the life we want with enjoyment and ease.

I'm Brett Kistler, here with my co-host, Joe Hudson.

This week, we're going to go into a much-requested topic about Joe's history.

We cover the first part of his life from a relatively standard modern start

to being kicked out of his house as a 13-year-old, getting a green mothawk, and collecting

spiritual tools from around the world. So, Joe, tell us what fucked you up.

Oh, my goodness. Right. Pretty early on.

If you think,

if I think about my first seven years,

the,

that one was,

you know,

that was probably as far as like zero to 18,

probably the most,

um,

most functional part of my childhood.

Um,

there was some issues, but, and, most functional part of my childhood.

There was some issues, but, and also it's that time when so much, and like so much of your basic attachment issues, you know, get, get created in that timeframe.

And I remember that was the time when I had the strongest relationship with my father.

I remember coming home and I remember there was just like they were always looking forward

to him being around and him always looking forward to us.
