Even Tony Soprano asked for help.

James Gandolfini’s portrayal of Tony Soprano redefined the television antihero, blending mob boss ruthlessness with introspective vulnerability. Tony’s moral ambiguity—capable of both chilling violence and tender familial devotion—challenged the audience to grapple with often rooting for a horribly flawed protagonist.

His therapy sessions in the series peeled back layers of trauma and existential angst, offering what one critic declared, "a groundbreaking exploration of masculinity and mental health."

Tony's anxiety levels were off the charts...for good reason. He was dealing with "a lot."

Questions helped Tony Soprano.

While I specifically do not do therapy, we do ask questions.

Some people like it some don't. One of my son's favorite games to play is "Questions." What's that? You may ask.

We simply go back and forth with questions for each other—finding out more about the other and/or the stuff the other one knows that you want to find out. It is amazing what you can learn from an eight-year-old at times.

It's even more remarkable when a group gets together and you can benefit from all the accumulated and collective knowledge and wisdom of people that are much older.

That's what we do.

I coach attitude, effort, behavior, and performance. I don't motivate.

And I don't do therapy.

As always,

Brian
