Description

After earning a red card at a youth soccer game, Aaron and I reflect on emotional control, brutal honesty, and the power of self-censorship. Inspired by Jefferson Fisher and “Self-Censorship Is Actually Good,” we role-play ways to speak truth with empathy. From sideline chaos and parenting stress to stoic communication principles, this episode blends humor, humility, and hard-earned lessons. Learn to navigate social tension, say “no” with confidence, and speak wisely—especially when emotions run high.
