A pause for the cause
Wrapping up Season 1 of MiM Show
Just because something feels right to you doesn’t always mean you should do it.
And you can double the need for such a filter when you’re in the midst of a major life transition.
If you’ve been following this show, you know that when Joe and I began recording these episodes, I was very fresh into the biggest journey of my life.
Selfishly, these conversations with Joe, and subsequently, the ones I’m now having with many of you, have been a great source of relief and validation for me.
I’ve come to realize, however, that my benefits in doing the show have come at great cost to others.
People I would never want to hurt, and, in fact, would do anything to protect.
It’s been incredible to hear from so many men and women how (and why) these conversations are so needed.
It has inspired both Joe and I to keep at it.
Yet, when I shared with Joe how much my public yammering on the topic of my current journey is hurting others, he didn’t hesitate to say…
“Let’s take a pause, man.”
He was right.
That’s what a true friend does; stays focused on the big picture. And lobbies for the right thing, no matter what the cost.
There’s a great saying about wisdom: You don’t teach from wounds, only scars.
These wounds are fresh. Much of the bleeding has stopped, but the scars have yet to form.
So, the weekly episodes will end at Ep. 10, for now.
I’m not considering this a final episode, just the final episode of Season 1.
We’ve barely broken the ice on the depth of this conversation.
We have big goals for the show, and a whole lot more to say, and learn, about the needs of men in the middle passage of life.
So, if you haven’t already, please subscribe to Man in the Middle Show with Kevin & Joe.
That way you’ll get automatic updates when Season 2 launches.
I’m deeply grateful for everyone who has reached out, shared the show, and given us your enthusiastic support.
Don’t go anywhere, we’ll be right back.
Much love,
Kevin
