My name is Betsy Paik. I’m an author, a speaker, and a trainer of NLP and hypnotherapy, and I’m focused on helping you understand and design your life with the power of the subconscious. This podcast is designed to help you think differently about what could be possible for your life. Now, let’s go live big. Hi, everybody. Welcome. Welcome to the art of living big. Betsy [00:00:35]:I’m really excited today. I know I feel like I always say I’m so excited to be here, but I really am excited because today I have my friend doctor Jonathan Breitboard with us, and I have needed him to come on the show. Like, this has been so necessary for me. So, Jonathan, tell everybody about what you do, and then it will all make sense of why I needed you here. jonathan brajtbord [00:00:57]:Perfect. So I am a physician, so I’m a urologist. By training, and through my own kind of personal story issues, kind of whims, and the way the world works, I ended up going on my own journey through personal growth, through men’s work kind of avenues. And over the last, I, I guess, now four years, I’ve created my own course to help men. Essentially, it’s like an intro to inner work for professional men. So my online course is called men’s work inner work for professional men. It’s a seven week online course where we get guys to kind of get back in alignment with who they are, kind of get in touch with their kind of inner self. And that’s kind of the core of what I do outside of being a urologist, I talk to men all day long. jonathan brajtbord [00:01:45]:I talk to women who want their men to do inner work all day long as well, too. Um, and so in addition to the online course, I also run a retreat twice a year called fortitude, which is a three day in person retreat. Very small, very intimate for men as well, too. Betsy [00:01:58]:So that’s really cool. And you do that where you live in Massachusetts? jonathan brajtbord [00:02:02]:Yeah. So we do the in person retreat at our farm in Massachusetts. We use the land we use. We have a lake, we have fields, we have a barn. And so we use the elements in the, in the, you know, nature and in our kind of where we live to get guys grounded back to themselves. Betsy [00:02:19]:That’s really cool. What was there a catalyst for you that made you be like, I’m going to do? Well, first of all, I’m going to do this work for myself, and then I’m going to help other people do this work? Like, what was the catalyst to even get it started. jonathan brajtbord [00:02:33]:Yeah. I mean,
