Matt Schreier detailed his experience as an Al-Qaeda captive in Syria, highlighting his efforts to survive and escape. The book includes stories of his captors, his cellmate, and the harrowing details of the prison environment.
It's the type of story whenever I do is speak in engagement and people ask how he was taken they all say the same thing after I finished they go you can't make that shit up.
Yeah, it's the equivalent to journalists of what Gomer Pyle was to Marines in full metal jacket.
He was like this little nerdy guy and he's just like standing there struggling around wearing it and that was the first time I ever saw one and I was like I never seen one of those before, you know, pinstripes huh.
You know, it's a testament to the fact that they were once alive and anyone who reads the book it doesn't matter if you're in the US military because I a lot of soldiers read my book you will love these guys they're just the best.
And he's like, I love that movie. I'm like, Oh my god. Like, yeah, like he literally was doing what that guy did.
The Dawn Prayer is a memoir written by Matt Schreier, an American photographer who was captured by Al-Qaeda in Syria in 2012, describing his seven months as a captive and his eventual escape.
He tells me his name and then he's got two names like straight off the bat, he doesn't really know which name to use and he's like all right, I told him this is my name, just use that name because the other one I wrote a book with it and it's linked to Islamic extremism and I don't want them to know.
He tells people that it was Al-Qaeda, but but there's just really a bunch of bunch of punks.
He's like, you know, he was always like, you should convert, you guys should convert and I was just like no, no, no, you know, because you don't want to do it, you don't want to jump in because you don't want him to know your you're faking it, so like two weeks in, he brought it up and I was like all right, you know, I was like, you know what, feeling I'm like, it feels like God is in the room whenever you are praying. I was like, I'm down man, let's do it.
He's like, yeah, so he tells me what to say. I say it and he's like, all right, welcome to the club, and I'm like that's it? And he's like, yep, you're a Muslim, pick your name and I'm like, I get to pick my name? And he's like yeah, he's like this is a very important part of the process, what is your name gonna be? So I was like, I was like, No Sir, and he's like why? I was like, after a great man I met in the left post shake obu no sir, but that was just bullshit, the truth is I'm a Nozzan, then I just thought I'd name myself after somebody would sit that sins with every syllable that comes out of his mouth.
He's like, I'm not doing it, it's the principal of it, and I'm like, you know, who cares, like, none of this is real, like, what are you talking about? Like, like this is fantasy land, like, you know, this is no thing. The old saying, you're a Muslim in this environment, is no different than telling your kid that there's a Santa. I mean, who gives a damn?
The Dawn Prayer is a memoir by Matthew Shryer, an American photographer, who was kidnapped by Al-Qaeda in Syria in 2012. The book details Shryer's experience in captivity, including the interrogation process, the harsh conditions of the prison, and the different groups he was held with, including Syrian soldiers fighting for Assad. Shryer's book also details his escape from captivity and the challenges he faced upon returning home.
And then he told me how he got captured, and that was just like, 'Oh, my god.' Like, it's the type of story whenever I do speak in engagements and people ask how he was taken, they all say the same thing. After I finished, they go, 'You can't make that shit up.'
Yeah, well, how did he get captured?
He tells people that it was Al Qaeda, but but there's just really a bunch of bunch of punks, yeah. They wanted like, they wanted beer money or whatever, basically. Yeah, they want them money for hashish, so he's they're like, 'All right, what are we doing with him now? We want $400,000, but they don't know how to collect it, so basically they just like give him away and he just ends up getting passed around from from group to group like a puppy nobody wants and eventually he ends up with these guys, you know.
It was a good culmination to the story and, you know, Theo, if people are like, 'Wow, you're really callous, Theo, you know,' he, like you said, he doesn't make it out, but he doesn't die there. He ends up getting let out later.
It's a great story. The book was really interesting as well, and there's a lot of little details in there. Of course we didn't get to nearly everything today, even though we went really long on the show here, because there's just so many details with like, the personalities of the people and the cells and the different transfers and the escape, the final escape attempts, and everything. It's just such a crazy mess over there.
The Big Book of Mental Models
It was discussed as a book about mental models, which are concepts useful across various fields. It was highlighted as a tool for improving decision-making and understanding cognitive biases.
So mental models is a fancy word for concept.
— Episode: 214: Gabriel Weinberg | How Mental Model...
It was discussed as a book about mental models, which are concepts useful across various fields. It was highlighted as a tool for improving decision-making and understanding cognitive biases.
So mental models is a fancy word for concept.
So for example, I was a physics major in college lots of physics concepts you probably don't care at all about. Aren't generally useful.
So it's like the amount of material you need before that happens. And if you can recognize that this is a critical mass situation, then you can immediately realize that it's going to have a snowball at some point.
And so if you can recognize all of these like that one's from physics but there's one's from economics and biology and you know all different science areas and math if you have all these in your head and you get a random situation, you can be like these three things apply.
The book the super thing is full of all these really interesting examples one of which was nudging and on restaurant menus I always wondered why some things are in boxes and when I got to eat with my brother and law my wife for example he'll go oh this is the house special.
It was described as a "big book of mental models" that helps to internalize complex concepts, understand cognitive biases, and make better decisions. It was mentioned as trending in geekdom.
So mental models is a fancy word for concept.
So for example, I was a physics major in college lots of physics concepts you probably don't care at all about. Aren't generally useful. But one that is is critical mass.
And so these are effectively shortcuts of how to think strategically.
And so if you can recognize all of these like that one's from physics but there's one's from economics and biology and you know all different science areas and math if you have all these in your head and you get a random situation, you can be like these three things apply. You can really quickly assess the situation and be a better decision maker.
The book the super thing is full of all these really interesting examples one of which was nudging and on restaurant menus I always wondered why some things are in boxes and when I got to eat with my brother and law my wife for example he'll go oh this is the house special. I'm like that doesn't mean anything it's in a box it means that this is the highest profit margin thing or they can make a huge pot of it in the morning and it stays there all day so they're like if we sell more of this it's gone we don't throw it away and we make you know 30 cents on the dollar for it or something like that I didn't know that.
It was discussed as a book full of mental models, which are concepts that can be used to make better decisions and assess situations more accurately. It uses physics, economics, and biology as examples of how these models can be applied.
So mental models is a fancy word for concept.
So for example, I was a physics major in college lots of physics concepts you probably don't care at all about. Sure. Aren't generally useful. But one that is is critical mass.
The book the super thing is full of all these really interesting examples one of which was nudging and on restaurant menus I always wondered why some things are in boxes and when I got to eat with my brother and law my wife for example he'll go oh this is the house special.
I'm reading a book about cult mind control where having the author on it literally teaches people how to get other family members out of cults yeah and eat this sort of makes an appearance he doesn't say disconfirmation bias but it really is that he's like you you sound families what you think is gonna happen is you're gonna get them over for dinner one night even though they're supposed to be isolated from you and you're gonna go look at all this news about your cult and look who you are and all your friends and family are worried about you and they love you and like uh we're all panicking and crying and look at all these bad things your cult
The book is called Super Thinking and links to his stuff of course will be in the show notes

You know in my book I wrote I wrote in my book that was my you know I'm older than I'm older new and older than probably most people listening but I'm in my mid-60s so as a being a child of the 50s you know mental even the word mental had a stigma negative so you know people thought I was odd.
but I you know you analyze this seems like in hindsight looking back this is such a weird path this your path yeah but I think everybody has a weird path I'm sitting here with you who started to do a podcast you told me 13 years ago 13 years ago so I've 13 years ago I defy you to ask anybody what a podcast was and find like I'm two one out of 10 people may have heard of it I wouldn't have 13 years ago I know for myself but so so what makes somebody do it's the same thing the same answer for me is it is for you or anybody that is doing something where they didn't just go to school graduate and get a job working for somebody and you know and and I've talked about this many times the connotation of what our normal life is the normal life is if you listen to radio where you said you started you know Wednesday was considered hump day yeah what is hump day hump day is the connotation of getting halfway through you're almost over the hump of the shit that you have to do all week to what to get to the weekend just so you don't have to do it not even to do something you want just so you don't have to do that sure so our normal path in life and when I say normal I mean the most common path in life is you go to school you learn some shit that you're really not interested and you go get a job and you pay your rent but are you happy no you got hump day not really so all these people including yourself who are doing kind of something they want something they created some way of doing it sometimes you can look back and you go well how did I get here and what is it that made me come here you know and maybe it was the need I do it to what you just said you know I was an only child until my brother was born three years later and I remember you know at that time losing 5% of the attention I still good well I still had 95% I was I was walking it were three years different I was walking and talking he was a meatball that came home right and didn't have to do it they had to put them to bed swaddle them and clean them up yeah but so whatever that took away from me is really still kind of emblazoned in my mind so maybe it was just about getting attention good bad nougat just I needed attention so I don't know I'm being self analytical I don't think it's really good to analyze but I do and just when I have those that spare time and I do have a lot of spare time even though I'm doing a lot you know these are the kind of things I think of like what made me move 3000 miles away from anybody I've ever met known into a bit with nobody you know this is I'm out here in the middle of nowhere yeah
it's called Here's the Deal don't touch me and we'll link to that in the show notes
you think you might have become a performer because you wanted attention from your mom do you still feel like that's the well you know and then again I'm not a professional but I you know you analyze this seems like in hindsight looking back this is such a weird path this your path yeah but I think everybody has a weird path
Howie Mandel's book was mentioned in the context of his past and how it relates to his present, and his reflections on attention-seeking as a child.
you think you might have become a performer because you wanted attention from your mom do you still feel like that's the

And this is the second memoir yeah what's the so like the first one it's about 400 pages as well yeah do you write these yourself or do you have somebody who's like
Well I hope that I've maybe evolved or moved past the total drug addicted narcissistic...
Well I liked it and I found myself looking up a lot of the words and I was like this guy's a huge vocabulary and I was like maybe there's a ghost writer who has a huge book.
100% of the profits from this book will go to animal rights organizations
Moby discussed his two memoirs, explaining that he wrote them himself instead of using a ghostwriter. He was inspired to write them after realizing that his life experiences were unique and worth sharing.
I read this whole thing, it's 400 pages long, or at least the version I got. I've actually never seen the hardcover version.
And this is the second memoir, yeah, what's the... so like the first one, it's about 400 pages as well.
And then my publisher at the time, he said, 'you know you're descended from Herman Melville... you kind of have to write your own book.'
Well I liked it, and I found myself looking up a lot of the words, and I was like, 'This guy's got a huge vocabulary'.

It was inspired by 'The Motorcycle Diaries' and discussed the concept of traveling the world relying on the kindness of strangers, emphasizing that kindness is a core part of human nature.
basically I watched the movie The Motorcycle Diaries which is like a romanticized version of Che Guevara traveling around South America relying on kindness and there was something about that movie that really touched me right in the center of my heart
and I literally bought the bike gave the guy the check within one minute the bike broke
I've got a thing for motorcycles with side cars I just think it's the coolest
they were telling me actually that I should do season two in an electric vehicle
I was obsessed with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang because like I was in love with this car so I wanted to create a character for the show as well
It was discussed that the book contained details that were not mentioned in the show. The book, alongside the show, encouraged kindness and an adventurous spirit.
I literally bought the bike, gave the guy the check within one minute, the bike broke.
I mentioned this, not in the show, it in the other book I did.
It's a logical fallacy. I think that all you have to do is moment to moment, show up with as much kindness in your heart as you can.
Many people say to me, I can't get up, leave my job, take a yellow motorbike and go around the world. I can't get up from my job, leave my kids, stop paying my mortgage and drive a vintage yellow beetle from Alaska to Argentina, so I can't be kind.
The reality is that you don't have to do that. It's a logical fallacy. I think that all you have to do is moment to moment, show up with as much kindness in your heart as you can.

Mimi discussed how the book, which focuses on love, life, and relationships, was inspired by her own experiences and how she wished it existed before some of her life experiences.

It's not just about me. Actually, it's not about me ever. It's always about the connection I have with the audience.
It's the fact that they're real people and not just somebody who travels the world and they drive this car and wear these design clothes.
The reason I am here today is because people find me relatable. Otherwise, just I wouldn't be here.
And I think that's when they start going downhill.

The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable

Hal created this equation several years before 'The Miracle Morning'. He shared how he leveraged it to recover from a severe car accident and cancer diagnosis and to achieve extraordinary goals.
Hal Elrod (@HalElrod) has overcome two near-death experiences, is the bestselling author of The Miracle Morning, and his latest book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable, is out now.
You now talk about The Miracle Equation. I know you're leaning into this miracle thing pretty heavy duty. I get it. It's been successful for you in the past.
So The Miracle Equation, what's interesting is so like what you said is to me public perception, what it would be, right? Which is like, oh, I was into this like the miracle morning did so well. He's now spinning off this miracle brand, right?
But the idea that we put forth this effort on a consistent basis is of course nothing super new.
The subtitle of the book really a kind of teaches what it's after which is the two decisions that move your biggest goals from possible to probable to inevitable.
It was created six years before The Miracle Morning as a sales technique. It discusses two decisions: unwavering faith and extraordinary effort, which are said to be key to success.
And his latest book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible, to Probable, to Inevitable, is out now.
So The Miracle Equation, what's interesting is so like what you said is to me public perception, what it would be, right? Which is like, oh, I was into this like the miracle morning did so well. He's now spinning off this miracle brand, right?
But then I look back and I'm like oh that's why I was able to walk again even though I you know I they said I wouldn't when I would had cancer and this was literally the first day that I was diagnosed with cancer so I mean if you can imagine if you're listening you're giving a 30% chance of surviving and and for me it was way harder than the accident because I have two kids now right I had a I have a nine-year-old in the six-year-old so then there were seven and four and the thought of losing my kids and leaving they're not losing my kids but leaving them without a dad right and leaving my wife that a husband like that's the most horrific scary thought or possibility in my life.
kind of with the new book The Miracle Equation it goes back to the adage that they're the quote or whatever you want to call it the harder you work the luckier you get right and so I really would instead of luck I would call it you know serendipity almost it's like and because it's happened so consistently so many times based on when I you know the way I approach life with this this mindset these two decisions that we talk about are going to talk about is it's like I feel like these are what unlock that luck that serendipity.
So tell us about the new book and the new equation because I actually really like the simplicity of this you study a lot of achievers innovators and some of this to be fair seems like it's survivor bias because we're hearing from people who are successful because they've done a lot of the things that we talked about and they had their morning routine or whatever there are plenty of people that follow that they'll like live in their mom's basement right yeah so how do we know that this stuff is actually working and not just sometimes it works for people who are already going to be successful.
It was created 6 years before The Miracle Morning, and focuses on two decisions that can significantly impact a person's life: unwavering faith and extraordinary effort.
The Miracle Equation was something that I created six years before the miracle morning when I was in sales. I was 20 years old.
The subtitle of the book really a kind of teaches what it's after which is the two decisions that move your biggest goals from possible to probable to inevitable.
The Miracle Equation is how I walked again after my car accident, although I didn't come up with miracle equation until two years later.
I said look this is this formula that I have used to defy the odds in the past and I've done it with so so many times and it's worked for everyone I've taught it to.
The two decisions are like I said deceptively simple in their explanation but they're even more rare in their execution.
Turning Mistakes Into Stepping Stones for Success
Hal referenced a concept from this book, 'Act Your Way Into Feeling,' which suggests that taking action can generate motivation, rather than waiting for motivation to act.

Leverage the Power of Relationships to Achieve Your Business Goals
It was discussed how the book focuses on relationship marketing and maintaining the value of existing relationships, not just on acquiring new ones.
And that's what we really focus on in the book is not how to work a room, not how to cold email people but it's how do you maintain and increase the value of the relationships that you already have.
— Episode: 180: Zvi Band | Success Is in Your Spher...
It was discussed how the book focuses on relationship marketing and maintaining the value of existing relationships, not just on acquiring new ones.
And that's what we really focus on in the book is not how to work a room, not how to cold email people but it's how do you maintain and increase the value of the relationships that you already have.
And so your relationship building is not just about like, hey, you just want them to like you enough that they're going to think about you like you the next time they're ready to transact.
I think the bigger issues that this is kind of a challenge with just kind of you are approach to education as a whole is that we spend so much time focusing on the hard skills, not the soft skills.
That's honestly one of the reasons why we decided to write a book over the past couple of years is because we didn't see anyone really out there teaching.
And one of the first principles of building and maintaining relationships and networks is consistency.
It was discussed that success is largely dependent on relationships, and that relationships decay over time if not nurtured. It was mentioned multiple times that a book and a free six minute networking course was created to help with relationship building.
normally I wouldn't start with someone's story especially if it's about networking but you and I have kind of this shared background in a way where the network was what saved our asses
I probably would have pictured myself to be the last person to build a company that was exclusively around relationship building let alone write a book about the tactics and strategies behind it
it's how do you increase the number of chances that you have to get lucky?
And so yeah, like I was definitely lucky to, for example, get connected to someone who the day before had just closed on around a funding and needed a CTO to kind of fill in for them.
the book title is success in your sphere leverage the power of relationships to achieve your business goals
The book's author, Zvi Band, discussed his experience in building a company around relationship building and shared insights into the importance of networking and maintaining relationships over time.
Normally I wouldn't start with someone's story especially if it's about networking but you and I have kind of this shared background in a way where the network was what saved our asses and so I think that's a good place to start with this because I think a lot of people go oh yeah I need to do more networking I need to know how to do this I need to know how to do this and that better having bounced back from the bottom because of the network I think is a great way to start an episode tie like the importance of this and then get into the tactics yeah absolutely
I probably would have pictured myself to be the last person to build a company that was exclusively around relationship building let alone write a book about the tactics and strategies behind it
And that's what we really focus on in the book is not how to work a room, not how to cold email people but it's how do you maintain and increase the value of the relationships that you already have.
One of the key mantras is that investors invest in lines not dots.
The book title is success in your sphere leverage the power of relationships to achieve your business goals

The Science of Seeing Differently
It was discussed as an example of how the brain makes meaning from sensory data, particularly in relation to illusions and how our brains evolved to find utility, not accuracy.
But your book, DV8 and your work in large part is about the idea or the fact that we don't experience the world as it is because our brains didn't really evolve to do that.

It was discussed as an example of how the brain makes meaning from sensory data, particularly in relation to illusions and how our brains evolved to find utility, not accuracy.
But your book, DV8 and your work in large part is about the idea or the fact that we don't experience the world as it is because our brains didn't really evolve to do that.
And I know that in the book, DV8, you talk a little bit about the dress, that sort of meme that went viral and how people will see something different.
It will choose your delusion or it will choose you.
I think the reason people might get a little bit upset by this or freaked out might be the technical term is because it says that essentially the meaning of the thing is not the same as the thing itself.
So if you think about what does history give me? What does history give you? What does history give a brain? What it gives your brain or biases and assumptions.
The book's main theme was that humans do not perceive the world as it is, but rather how their brains have evolved to find utility, rather than accuracy, which was discussed in detail through examples and experiments.
But your book, DV8 and your work in large part is about the idea or the fact that we don't experience the world as it is because our brains didn't really evolve to do that.
And I know that in the book, DV8, you talk a little bit about the dress, that sort of meme that went viral and how people will see something different.
It will choose your delusion or it will choose you.
So if someone say shouts at you, whatever you do with that moment, how you respond to the thing determines its meaning.
The whole role of Deviate is to give that awareness of how your perception is working so that you can come an active agent in how you perceive.
It was discussed that the book 'Deviate' covers how humans do not experience the world accurately, but rather in a way that is useful for survival, rather than accurately. It was mentioned multiple times, with examples like the viral 'dress' image.

Bolado is a smart dude. We did this in his house. He's just got so many so many cool things going on. His book is called Deviate and you can find that.

Surviving in a Social Media World of Hackers, Terrorists, Russians, and Fake News

The book discussed how hostile entities use social media for propaganda and recruitment, particularly ISIS and Russia, and how that affects our way of life.
I'd written a fiction conclusion to my book and I made an app in the story called You Know You which is you make people believe that they're making their own choices and then they take it on even more because they're like, oh, I am liberated. I'm choosing all this but you don't know behind the scenes whoever's paying for the advertising, whoever's pushing the products, who's ever changing the words, who's ever delivering you the video that you need to see this especially edited or a deep fake or whatever it might be is manipulating you in some way.
It's not designed for the highest most educated people. It's designed for those that don't have a good balance on what is trusted information.
It's really an establishment versus a populist movement inside jihad it just happened years before and ISIS is sort of a first version one of the first versions of that arab spring it's sort of rolled in there too you know we had that going on.
Tom Nichols wrote the book death of expertise but I mean I saw it in the context of social media in particular which is go to any kid today and you're like hey how do you do this and go oh I can do that I could take a heart out or I can start a car and you're like yeah but if you've ever done it no it's on YouTube or it's on Google you know I can figure it out I can figure it out.
My friend Ryan Holiday wrote a book called trust me I'm lying where he would sort of bubble up little he'd send out your little blogs hey you know this author to this and the authors is client and then that would bubble up to a local news source and then a national news source would suddenly be like this guy is doing all these crazy things and here's a bunch of free PR for the book and in the Kremlin kind of like but maybe bought that and handed it out to everybody in their info war center right.
It was discussed how social media and online systems are optimized for control and insidious persuasion, and how this can be used by terrorists and state actors to influence people's beliefs and actions.

I talk about how you would use aggregate uh face wipes on dating apps to pick the next governor of a state by going and finding him based on his physical appearance because you know we'll attract to the voting audience that that you want to tailor that candidate towards
It was discussed in the context of social media manipulation by foreign actors, particularly Russia, emphasizing how simple methods can be very effective at destabilizing societies.

ISIS stepped in and said, if we want to kill 100 people, we don't have to create a hydrogen peroxide bomb and cook it in whatever and do this and that. And so guys who weren't very smart and didn't get to complex terrorize the entire world in ways al Qaeda never did.
It's not sophisticated at all. So if you had thrown that out to a bunch of military planners, this is the Masha comparison. They'd have been like that. That would never happen. That's just too simple. Why would they do that?
Maybe maybe in order to get some new listeners, I'll have a Macedonian click farm, you know, building me up a couple, a couple million fake accounts.

The book details a platform and movement that encourages people to share a 15-minute personal talk, emphasizing that their greatest gift lies alongside their deepest wound.
I believe to my core that your greatest gift lies your greatest gift lies right next to your deepest wound
the One Last Talk they'll ever give so the question is if you'd One Last Talk to give to the world what would you say and who'd you say it to
it's just out and it brings you through a deep dive it's not for everybody but anybody who takes it on I encourage you to go through the process and deliver your One Last Talk to at least one of the human being otherwise it doesn't have the kind of therapeutic and cathartic you know your result and it doesn't free you of that suffering or pain or that story and certainly doesn't help humanity so that's the ask
and I said I'm so embarrassed but I'm here the mistake is made let's get going is that okay
if you did nothing based on the show you just took time now are later on to sit down and just one piece of white paper not 25 pages what is the one last letter
It was discussed how the book and its associated movement encourages people to give a final, meaningful talk on stage, often related to their deepest wound, to help themselves and others.
The book "One Last Talk" is just out and it brings you through a deep dive it's not for everybody but anybody who takes it on I encourage you to go through the process and deliver your One Last Talk to at least one of the human being otherwise it doesn't have the kind of therapeutic and cathartic you know your result and it doesn't free you of that suffering or pain or that story and certainly doesn't help humanity so that's the ask
The question is if you'd One Last Talk to give to the world what would you say and who'd you say it to
One Last Talk is the event itself where people find essentially their gift next to their wound which makes sense at least to begin to explore to begin to explore
I was going to write a book called "Wake Up Call" and I give the premise of the book now so even if I do have a writer no one needs to buy it's basic premises I interviewed tons of people who had a wake up call whether it was a business failure a personal failure depression facing their own mortality sickness somebody else passing away close to them etc.
It was discussed as a platform and movement where people can give a 15-minute talk about their personal truth, often related to their deepest wounds, to potentially help others.
One Last Talk is a platform that we've created, a movement if you like, where we do live events where people who in many cases have never spoken publicly before stand on stage and in 15 minutes or less share the One Last Talk they'll ever give.
So the question is, if you had One Last Talk to give to the world, what would you say and who would you say it to?
I believe to my core that your greatest gift lies, your greatest gift lies right next to your deepest wound.
The only thing is the book 'One Last Talk', it's just out and it brings you through a deep dive. It's not for everybody, but anybody who takes it on, I encourage you to go through the process and deliver your 'One Last Talk' to at least one human being, otherwise, it doesn't have the kind of therapeutic and cathartic, you know, result, and it doesn't free you of that suffering or pain or that story and certainly doesn't help humanity, so that's the ask.
It's a part of your truth as opposed to just your story, and there are often very different things.
