This episode isn’t theoretical.

It’s personal. Very personal.

Something happened this week involving my daughter that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. It shook me. And yet, I found myself confronted by the very thing I teach: emotional regulation, critical thinking, and behavioural intelligence, not in a classroom, but in real life, where it counts.

Everyone expected rage. Violence. Retaliation. And I’ll be honest, those thoughts were there. But instead of reacting, I chose to think. Not because I’m above anger, but because I’m committed to protecting the people I love with clarity, not chaos.

In this episode, we get int into the mindset it took to navigate that fire. We’ll explore the neuroscience of emotional control, the cost of binary thinking, and how to use Holmesian principles when your instincts are screaming for blood.

This isn’t about being clever. It’s about being clear-headed when it matters most. And it’s a reminder that thinking like Sherlock Holmes isn’t just an intellectual exercise, it’s a survival skill.

Let’s get into it.
