Embracing the Unusual: Making the Unconventional Mainstream 🚀

One thing's for sure, life throws unconventional stuff our way. Tyler Watson spoke about growing up with a dad who was a clinical kinesiologist, someone people in the community nicknamed 'the witch doctor.' Let's pause and think about that for a second. Imagine having a parent whose career isn’t just misunderstood—it’s outright stigmatized! Yet, there’s a kind of magic in how Tyler's dad turned skeptics into believers when they were in their most desperate situations. People would go up that mountain on their last legs, almost as a last resort, and come back getting better. It’s like his dad was the hidden ace up their sleeve they didn’t know they needed.

Now, Tyler’s wondering: how do you make the unconventional normal? This isn’t just about health or some niche profession; it’s about life. It’s about those moments when you feel like the odd one out. He grew up as the only kid in his school practicing his religion, always the outlier, always on the fringes. But Tyler didn’t just accept feeling different as a permanent fixture in his life. He wanted to fit in, make his mark, but in a way that felt genuine, not forced.

So, how do you normalize the unconventional in your world? It starts with a sense of genuine curiosity and openness. Often, our first instinct is to resist or reject what we don’t understand. But what if, instead, we leaned into that curiosity? Imagine approaching the "weird" or misunderstood aspects of your life or someone else’s with the attitude of "what can I learn here?" It’s not about changing who you are to fit in; it’s about expanding your own understanding so you can bridge the gap between your world and theirs.

Tyler’s experience also teaches us the importance of timing and perseverance. Sometimes, the right moment to share or introduce something unconventional doesn’t come until a crisis point—a time when others are desperately searching for solutions and are therefore more open to unconventional ideas. But it’s the ones who keep showing up, who keep living their truth authentically, that eventually turn the tide.

Fitting in and making an impact without feeling weird? It comes down to the courage to be yourself and the patience to let others catch up to you. Your unconventional story or method might be the uncharted path others need, but it requires authenticity and a willingness to stand out. And sometimes, just sometimes, you’ll find that being genuine and open bridges gaps you never thought possible, slowly but surely making the unconventional the new normal.

Answer To The Weekly Trivia Question: 

The animal historically associated with insurance agents is the hedgehog. This association comes from the phrase "to hedge one's bets," which means to mitigate risk by taking compensatory measures. Since insurance agents help individuals and businesses hedge against risks, the hedgehog became a symbol of their role in protecting against unforeseen events.
