"Could your table that you're all just sitting around smoking or drinking coffee be a place that you realise you're all guys trying to find recovery?"
Ever wondered what it takes to turn a casual chat into a life-changing conversation? In this episode, David Hain tackles the concept of BOGSAT - a bunch of guys sitting around a table. This isn't just about hanging out; it's about transforming those unproductive moments into opportunities for growth and recovery. David shares his vision of turning BOGSAT into BOGGAT - a bunch of guys growing around a table.
With humour and insight, he suggests ways to make these gatherings more meaningful, encouraging listeners to take charge of their conversations and use them as tools for healing and self-improvement. David explains how these informal settings, often found in rehabs and shelters, can be transformed into powerful support groups. He emphasises the importance of shared goals, camaraderie, and open communication.
By rotating leadership and discussing meaningful topics, these groups can become spaces where individuals not only find support but also develop essential life skills. The episode is a call to action for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is. It's about recognising the potential in everyday interactions and using them to foster trust, character development, and personal growth. So, are you ready to turn your BOGSAT into a BOGGAT?
Tune in to discover how you can make your gatherings more productive and transformative.
