From addiction to expansion...
Richard Atherton is an executive coach in the structure he founded FirstHuman.
He also hosts "Being Human"—a podcast I admire with over 300 episodes 😮
But what struck me the most was not his brilliant and eclectic career (from management consultant to cabaret owner and system coder... you won't believe what Richard did in his life).
It was what he shared in this episode.
Without filters.
Without hiding.
Check a few golden nuggets:
🍷 Richard started drinking at 14.
🎓 He had a brilliant academic track.
👎 He got fired from his first job for being too shy.
🤩 He lived a full, rich life… while struggling with alcohol and other addictions
For years, the hangover was the only thing that helped him slow down.
His mind was too fast. Too busy.
Alcohol numbed the noise.
Later came more layers:
➡️ Alcoholics Anonymous
➡️ S#x and Love Addicts Anonymous
➡️ Co-Dependents Anonymous
➡️ Landmark Education
➡️ John Bradshaw’s book Homecoming
➡️ Deep childhood therapy
➡️ Primal scream work
An SO. MUCH. MORE.
Richard went deep.
And through that depth, he came back.
Clearer. Softer. Freer.
He now helps leaders turn away from the illusion of “When I’ll finally get X, I’ll be happy.”
Because joy and connection are not at the end of the path.
They’re here.
Available.
When we stop running.
It’s one of the most open conversations I’ve ever had on this podcast.

#39 Werner Karnadi - Few words. Big impact. From the Dutch Kendo national coach
He was not great at school. Nor did he know what you wanted to do with his life by his early 20s.
Until he stepped in #kendo dojo.
Werner Karnadi, a Data warehouse specialist, is above and beyond the coach of the kendo Dutch national team.
If you love sports you will be hooked by what Werner talks about during our conversation. And she loves figures you will like the way we discuss data and how to approach it with a human focus.
A truly fabulous conversation for this Episode 39.
Here are some extracts of what we talked about:
💔 He underestimated the emotional impact of being laid off, and spiralled down
🗣️ A few words from strangers have significantly impacted his life multiple times
🧐 "Don't take things personally" is absurd. How else do you want to take things?
❓You always have to associate a powerful WHY to your goal
🥋 Winning a match is NOT a goal. What you do to get that point IS a goal
🤷 If I haven't figured it out, then others might have not understood it neither -> I need to explain better.
AND MUCH MUCH MORE 🤩🤩🤩!!!
Thank you Josh Bishop for the connection 🙏❤️
