Hey everybody, it's Brian. Before I did this Seahawks stuff full time, I worked as a manager and senior

leader, so I know how lonely it can be to try to find someone you trust to talk through people

issues, org issues, process issues as you try to lead an organization. Ryan Cleveland of

Ryan Cleveland.com is someone I trust to have those conversations with.

He specialized in working with CEOs and business owners, and you can get a complimentary free

discovery session to see if it's a good fit for you. Just go to Ryancleveland.com to another episode of Real Hawk Talk. I am Brian Emhouser. You can find us everywhere, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, all the places, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, at Hawk Blogger.

And I got some breaking news to share with my good friends, Evan Hill at Evan Hill, HB, Jeff Simmons, at Real Jeff Simmons.

I just took a walk with Finn, my dog, and I did not get stung by a yellow jacket.

Oh my gosh.

The first time in like a week, third time.

So for folks I don't know, yesterday I texted these guys because for the third time in a week, I was stung by a yellow jacket on my walk with Finn. I can't go in the forest anymore because there clearly some sort of yellow jacket nest in there. And it's done me through my sock, dude. Okay. So, Brian, I am, of course, very concerned about your well-being. So I'm sorry to hear that you were stung, but more importantly, is Finn okay? Was he stung?

He doesn't give a shit, man. He's like, are we walking? That's all I care. Why are you complaining? Why are you limping? I love Finn. He's a great dad. He's all good, man. He's all good. How are you guys doing? I'm good. I'm so excited to talk to you guys. I didn't send you this text today, but I have been

compartmentalizing the game into like a specific part of my brain where I have not allowed

myself to think about it or emotionally process it. And I've been storing those feelings inside.

And I'm hoping today is almost like a like a group therapy session.

Yes. Yes. Because I have, I've just been bottling in some agitations with that game. And it was a

conflicting Seattle Sports Night, obviously. But yeah, I, I've been looking forward towards this therapy session is what i'll

say i love it i love it the the theme of this episode is from cope to hope uh and uh we'll explain

a little bit more about that in a bit i i worked on something i don't know how it's going to go over

i think we're going to have fun with it but i'm going to show that with you guys in a second.

Jeff, I know how you're doing.

I don't even have to ask how you're doing, you asshole. What's going on up there in Toronto? I don't want to talk about it. I feel bad for you guys. Yeah, yeah. Come on, man. it's a big deal.
