Episode 91: Balancing Military Special Forces With Performing Arts

When he was a young man, Kon was drafted into the special forces in the Air Force in his native Greece. He also loved performing arts and dance. Impressively, he did both simultaneously. This part of Kon’s story really interested me in terms of how he balanced the masculine with the feminine.

How did Kon balance military, antiterrorism work (i.e., more stereotypically masculine) during the day with dance tights (i.e., more stereotypically feminine) at night?

What strengths did Kon pull out of this unique set of experiences? Toughness? Emotional IQ? Communication? A thick skin? Adaptability?

One of the hallmarks of mental health is flexibility of thought. How did Kon’s early experiences fuel his cognitive flexibility?

The top tools to navigate a crisis (which we are all in due to COVID).

What are some of the most needed attributes for effective titans of trade, or leaders in business?

What is your best piece of advice for other men who may be less far along in their journey?
