Bret Harrison - Embracing Ego, Empathy & Grace

Send us a text

Our next guest, Bret Harrison,  was kindly introduced by the talented Jay Webb, who was a former guest on our podcast!  Bret is a very talented sales and marketing executive who leads with curiosity and empathy.  More importantly, he has been married for 37 years to his wonderful wife Kim and also is the father of three grown children.  

Bret grew up in SE Idaho in a family where the value of hard work was taught and shown daily.  In fact, Bret's father, at 80 years old, still drives a truck!  He learned so many lessons from his parents that he would later use in a successful career in sales and business.   The lessons he was taught have been shared with his kids, specifically around helping others, always following the golden rule, and being curious to see how you can make someone's life better.

One of the powerful moments of our conversation was when Bret shared the story and lesson that we, as dads, must be partners, not roommates.  As husbands, he shares that as our marriage grows in time, we must make sure we don't fall into the trap of being roommates.  We are life partners.  Remember that feeling when you first met your wife, and always make her feel special.  Bret also talked about the power of counseling and therapy and that it's OK to ask for help.

Bret later shares why it's so important that, as fathers, we must be open to feedback, and remember, the ego is the enemy!  Lastly, always follow the golden rule of life and give yourself grace.  We are doing our best.
