On Hidden Stories we've shared stories of every day people and it doesn't get more "every day" for me than my brother. The conversations I've shared with my brother over the years have had a major impact on my own development. Siblings are a lifelong experiment in nature versus nurture. They can be a gift to each other. With time and perspective the stories you share with your sibling only get more interesting and insightful.

Our conversation in this episode covers a lot of what this podcast endeavored from the very beginning to expose, lessons and wisdom on leadership, sales, marriage and parenting. Bryan is on a journey professionally and personally that is being driven by concepts derived from the Arbinger Collusion diagram. The diagram is an illustration that helps people determine who they are, how they see others and why they take the actions they take. We explore what the diagram is, isn't and how his implementation of it has changed him as a leader, husband and father.
