The Pain Behind the Purpose with Pjero Mardesic

Episode Summary

Pjero Mardesic is an Australian executive coach, speaker, therapist, facilitator, and poet. He’s the author of the books Conquer the Uncomfortable and Unleash Your Potential. Pjero’s also the host of The Boy Behind the Man podcast. Emotions can lead us to a number of places, especially when they’re left unchecked. Pjero and I get into why that happens and why people’s lack of belief in themselves bothers him the most. He explains how his childhood experiences shape how he works with clients. Fears from growing up or fears accumulated through life often create narratives around what we believe we can and can’t do. There’s always a “why” behind the “what” and we talk about how active listening helps us uncover the way people think. Pjero’s content is often direct, and he speaks to men and women about relationships with conviction, which he says is inspired by his own experiences. He shares a very personal story about how he lost everything in a relationship and how it powers him to help others not to make the same mistakes. Pjero and I discuss his former addiction to instant gratification and pornography and how it helped him create his program, Addicted to Grow. We also talk about the effects adult content has on men and women, addiction and the brain, and how to overcome our challenges in life and business.
