Amara Lynch and Steven Joiner- Managing Disappointment

Leadership = disappointing people at a rate they can absorb!

In this episode of Byron’s Loom, Byron in joined by guests Amara Lynch and Steven Joiner. Amara is a graduate student and the mother of a 10 year old boy. Steven is a leadership trainer and consultant specializing in white masculinity. In this conversation we tackled disillusion and disappointment. Amara shared about how her son is navigating his discovery that that there are no leprechauns and Santa ain’t real. Steven told us about his goal is to help create and live a healthy blueprint of masculinity. Steven Joiner also described “2 jobs”: 1) providing resources and removing barriers and 2) being honest when he can’t actually do that! Byron talked about his progress and challenges weaving these convo’s. This subsack currently has 20 subscribers, and Byron hopes he is disappointing them at a rate they can absorb! (this will make more sense after you listen!). Amara also shared details about her graduate project on parenting white males in ways that uphold the value of creating a more socially just society. Spoiler Alert! Our next conversation will be dedicated to this topic! Thanks for listening!
