Was interesting to hear your thoughts on this Cal!
Definitely a decision everyone of us has to make (and not just once). I have also started to share more about my own life without thinking too much about the consequences. It's what people want to hear, they are seeking human connection.
But at the same time you can't take it back once it's out there. Appreciate the impulse to think about it again mate!
This was a great read. It does seem that there’s this constant tug-of-war between sharing the personal because it connects quickly, and staying rooted in expertise because that’s where the supposed deeper value lives. When a personal story reveals a broader truth, it becomes a teaching tool.

I think I came around to the fact that there’s needs to be a balance, but like with so many things self-awareness is critical, isn’t it?
Always is. If you run on autopilot you usually run into a wall😅

My first draft was quite either or, and probably quite judgemental. I definitely think you need a balance of both.
