AI Generated, but really good. The song is worth listening on repeat, the lyrics represent the pernicious pull of social pressure and the necessity to say no to warm smiles and flowery words. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCxr4541Ul8 "I used to say yes to everything....if you must choose between your truth and what the crowd condones, then choose the path that costs you more, that's how you find your home....life taught me to stand alone because not every road leads home"

Hey everyone I will try to jump on a live call every Monday to update you guys with everything Brojo-related. On today's call we discussed: - 30 day challenge in January - Should I make the Roadmap free to all? - Early access to Overcoming Negative Thoughts course - VIP prices increasing next year - recognition of members - reminders from the last couple of weeks - Weekly challenge: do a kindness for a stranger Comment below if you have any thoughts or questions! Cheers Dan --- FULL TRANSCRIPT: Alright, I think we're live. Make sure I got all my settings right. That looks right, yep, cool. So I've decided to pop in once a week, hopefully every Monday around this time, to just do a live update on everything broger related, keep you guys up to date with what's happening, make sure you're not missing out on anything, and maybe have a little bit of fun. Who knows? So on these calls, hopefully I'll be covering anything new that you need to know about. It's coming up with broger, any changes, improvements, anything like that. Let's you know with what's happening with things that are in process, so things that are being developed, where they're at, how long it's going to take to fix them or deliver them, that kind of thing. Some recognitions, some key members I've noticed from the week that I want to give props to, a reminder of anything that you guys might need to know about, and then I'll probably finish off with a weekly challenge for you guys to do, cool. So hopefully do this each week and we'll see how it adapts over time, but I want to keep you guys focused on what's happening and keep you engaged, and make sure you don't miss out on anything, cool. So first of all, what's coming up with this new, first we're going to have a 30 day challenge. We did a vote one or two weeks ago on what should be next, to add to the brojo value pool, and you guys voted almost unanimously for a 30 day challenge. So we're going to do one in January, and what I'm thinking is given that it's

Hey everyone, I’ve just released a brand-new feature inside the Brojo Classroom — something many of you voted for — and it’s finally live: The Road Map: Guide for Your Self Development. This roadmap is designed to take all the guesswork out of your personal growth. Instead of wondering “What should I focus on next?” or bouncing between random courses and content, you now have a step-by-step pathway that adapts to wherever you currently are in your life. Think of it like a “choose-your-own-adventure” for your self-development. Here’s what it lets you do: ✔ Identify the right area to focus on first Using an advanced interpretation of Maslow’s hierarchy, the roadmap helps you pinpoint which layer of your life needs attention right now—from basic survival needs all the way up to mission and purpose. ✔ Follow a structured, chronological pathway You’ll be guided chapter-by-chapter through the stages: - Survival - Basic stability - Social and relationships - Confidence, boundaries, philosophy - Higher-level mission and integrity No more skipping ahead to “advanced” topics while struggling with basic foundations. The system keeps your growth in the correct order so you actually progress instead of spinning in circles. ✔ Get curated course recommendations Each chapter contains: - A short video tackling that specific need (The Road Map acts as a course on it's own) - A description of the indicators that you’re in that stage - A list of the best courses for exactly that problem Whether you’re working on money, dating, boundaries, leadership, or mission — you’ll know which course to take next. ✔ Move at your own pace Finish a course, return to the roadmap, choose the next step, and continue leveling up. The whole thing is designed to be simple, linear, and easy to follow without overwhelming you. ✔ Optional personal guidance

Break some autopilot rules and patterns. We often follow patterns - rituals of behaviour - without any critical thinking about whether this is actually the best way to do things. Our brain prioritizes familiarity over efficiency or even success. You can train yourself to be more aware of the way you're doing things, and therefore more likely to make better decisions. Simply consciously break a pattern and do something a different way: - brush your teeth with your other hand - drive a new way to work - shop at a different supermarket, and buy different brands - pause before speaking instead of reacting instantly - introduce yourself to the person who works on the other side of the office Your challenge is to break a different pattern or rule every day, just to see what you notice. Enjoy!

This time last year, I was in the Brojo Brotherhood hotseat, digging into an age-old question: is it possible to maintain my integrity in a romantic relationship? My fledging state of wholeness was hard-won: I had recently overcome bipolar, after an intensive, self-prescribed mental health bootcamp Brojo-style. I was single, so my relationship question was theoretical but hopeful. A year later, my question is still burning but very much a reality, so I’m back in Brojoland to help me navigate this challenging terrain. After thirty years of avoiding interpersonal discomfort and complexity, training myself to sustain healthy boundaries in the face of love that turns me to mush calls for some industrial-strength support. When the stakes are high, 1:1 coaching with Dan is the best tool for the job and well worth the investment. In just one session, his expertise efficiently cut through the noise in my head to the heart of the issue, leaving plenty of time for constructive reframing and practical steps - reminding my why I trust this dude with my life. If you’re interested in my story of how thirty years of bipolar type two + two months of Dan Munro = no more bipolar, my memoir The Integrity Cure has just been released.
