But the truth is, we’re often more afraid of love, joy, and being fully seen.\nIn this episode, Dave Kashen, Jesse Pujji, and Andrew Warner uncover the hidden ways we resist appreciation, connection, and fulfillment—without even realizing it. They break down why receiving acknowledgment can feel so uncomfortable, especially for high achievers, and how this subconscious resistance affects success, relationships, and self-worth.\nJesse shares a powerful story about a leadership retreat that started as an awkward exercise and transformed into one of the most emotional, game-changing experiences of his life. Dave explains why we often block love and joy, even when we deeply crave them, and recounts the personal breakthrough that allowed him to finally feel his father’s love.\nAndrew wrestles with his own discomfort around appreciation and recognition, uncovering the deep-seated beliefs that hold so many people back from embracing their own value. They also explore how shifting from a mindset of entitlement to appreciation can create more ease, flow, and unexpected success—without forcing it.\nIf you’ve ever downplayed your wins, brushed off praise, or struggled to accept love, this conversation will make you rethink how you show up in the world.\n____________________________________________\nInner Game of Entrepreneurship Newsletter: https://newsletter.davekashen.com/\nBootstrapped Giants Newsletter: https://bootstrappedgiants.com/\n\nInner Game community and coaching:\nhttps://newsletter.davekashen.com/inner-game-community\n____________________________________________\nShow Notes:\n00:00 - Jesse’s secret story revealed\n01:04 - The exercise that changed everything\n03:05 - Why we resist acknowledgment\n06:33 - The fear of love & joy\n07:17 - Healing isn’t what you think\n11:00 - Dave’s breakthrough with his dad\n19:24 - Billion-dollar founders crave this\n26:36 - Why we block appreciation\n27:47 - “What you appreciate, appreciates”...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/D3q8uoAKBP9yDvAXKSX05IFBpfUTTR8eiffeZmJ_DWk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNzcz/NGQxYmUwMmU2ZWQx/YjgxZTVmNGEwYTJi/NjMzOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
