0:00.0	Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own
0:04.3	rebirth many years ago and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life
0:08.9	lessons and revelations. I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose
0:16.2	because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. I'm here with eight men and this is the last day of our miserable flux men's retreat.
0:27.4	This is the closing circle and everyone's agreed to be recorded and to capture this moment on audio as a time capsule.
0:38.5	So it's been a meaningful weekend.
0:41.7	And the first question I want to ask is what is your
0:45.4	takeaway so just kind of take a moment think about
0:50.8	this weekend think about the conversations a lot of times it's kind of the corner conversations, right? A lot of times it's, you know, someone just said like on the drive home or on the drive back.
1:01.0	Or maybe it would be when you were doing the ice and you actually weren't
1:05.9	talking to anyone but something came up or a thought insight what are some things that you are taking away with you?

1:20.0	you can just for the you know so people have contacts.
1:28.1	Let's start with let's start up this way.
1:37.2	I think my biggest takeaway is that I just need to kind of spend some time figuring on myself. You know there's things I came here kind of looking for clarity on, but the same time I think that those things are going to be dictated by, you know, essentially the work I do on myself and kind of find out what that means. So I think that taking the next
1:55.8	couple days to really really just think that through like kind of put the tools
2:00.9	into practice that we learned here and just kind of put the tools into practice that we learned here and just kind of just kind of
2:06.4	essentially let my brain do its thing, write down my thoughts and just kind of figure out what's the next steps are for me.
2:13.0	So I think that's actually a pretty big deal because I feel like I haven't given myself time to do that.
2:19.0	Can I ask why haven't you given yourself that time and how do you see that time now important to you?
2:28.0	Because you mentioned that you don't do a lot for yourself.
2:32.0	I mean you work hard, you work lot but this kind of stuff really happens.
