My guest today is Jon Symes, who has spent over 20 years helping leaders and midlife men see the invisible stories running quietly beneath their choices. Stories about success, love, safety and masculinity, absorbed so early in life that we mistake them for truth rather than recognising them as the belief structures they actually are. As Jon puts it, most of our stories arrived with us in disguise.
We explore where these stories come from, childhood moments, family patterns, culture, the heroes we watched on screen as boys, and why simply seeing the pattern is often not enough to change it. Jon shares the practical work of finding a story, understanding where it took root, and choosing differently for the next chapter of your life.
A simple question you can ask yourself right now to uncover the belief quietly shaping how you define success, love and safety
Why the same problem keeps resurfacing in different disguises, and how to find the story underneath that makes your behaviour make complete sense
A different perspective on masculinity, initiation and what it means to hold power in service of life rather than ego
Press play, and give yourself the space to look honestly at the stories you've been living by.
