Sales and Your Dark Side, Your Shadow!

How does Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow show up in sales? What is the shadow? How can you use it to your advantage? And what do you need to be avoiding?

Listen to a fascinating show with Michael Hanson on the concept of the shadow in sales.

As Carl Jung puts it, “The shadow is that hidden, repressed, for the most part inferior and guilt-laden personality whose ultimate ramifications reach back into the realm of our animal ancestors…

It can now be ascertained on closer investigation that the unconscious man, that is his shadow, does not consist only of morally reprehensible tendencies, but also displays a number of good qualities, such as normal instincts, appropriate reactions, realistic insights, creative impulses."

In 2021, Jake Housdon walked away from his executive role at a tech company to create a retreat center in the Peruvian Amazon.

Petra Velzeboer is a renowned author, psychotherapist, TedX speaker, and CEO of mental health consultancy PVL.

Born into a notorious cult ‘’The Children of God’’, Petra was raised in a strict environment where individuality and self expression were discouraged. Travelling the globe, she learned firsthand about cultures and people but was sheltered from education, books or friendships outside of the community.

Raised to believe the world was going to end, she took her birthright as god's endtime soldier seriously, turning a blind eye to cruel and unusual punishments, abuse and the fact that the world never did in fact, end.

Leading a double life for many years, she knows firsthand the toll it takes to wear a mask of conformity on one side while leading a hedonistic escapist life on the other.

Eventually the cracks started to show, falling pregnant at 22 and moving to London to start a new life with a boyfriend outside of the community. Life had enabled her to escape and offered up a new path.

In this episode of the show we take a deep look into Petra’s journey, from her time in the cult, to her life afterwards and the struggles she faced along the way, eventually leading her to a life of service and leadership.

Donald Trump! A new format this week and the first time talking about politics on the show.

Michael Chapman and Michael Hanson sit down to have a balanced debate and discussion about this very controversial figure.

But the central theme to the whole debate is dialogue. 

In many parts of the world we’ve lost the ability to have sensible discussion about things we disagree with, and when this happens, society begins to break down.

So even though the two Michael’s disagree on many things about the former president, they agree on one thing, differences of opinion are part of life, and they are healthy, when discussed in an open and respectful way.

We hope you enjoy the show. Let us know what you think!
