What I See is NOT Real

Episode 26_ “What I See is Not Always What’s Real”



We talk about the following:


Middle-class upbringing with a step-father with anger issues—developed the notion of the importance of figuring out where you want to go in life.


“You don’t come back from combat the same, regardless of what kind of experience you have, it opens your mind to other things. It taught me that what I see is not always what’s real.”


James’ real-estate company is formed around helping veterans and active-duty in the JBLM area (south of Seattle) get in and out of the real estate market with ease, and profit.


Appearance is only one aspect of who we are, but how can we start looking past appearances?


What responsibility to we have when we choose to ‘look’ a certain way?


People can manipulate things they say, but now how they act in the moment—that’s the best way to determine a person’s character.


It’s so simple to rush to judgement—but it’s almost never true


Once we are aware that our ‘look’ might induce trauma responses in other people, what do we do about that? –If at a snapshot you are a trigger to someone, well, how do you calm down a trigger? Have a conversation! Every time!


Once you’ve closed yourself off to taking in new information, the conversation is over.


“I always ask myself, am I making any assumptions that could stop this conversation from going forward?”  


James’ #1 Culture-Hack:  Trust, but verify. What you see is not always real!
