Here is your host, Dave Woodward. Hey everybody. Welcome back to funnel hacker radio. No, I'm
Speaker 2: 00:19 super excited. Kind of talked about this. A story today. This is one of the things I love Greek mythology. I'm always been impressed just by the, the characters and the battle between the gods and the mortals and mortal man and an and mortal men trying to explain things. And so I've, I've always been really impressed in Greek mythology is one of things I just have always loved, but one of the stories at is probably the most popular stories throughout the entire time here is that of, of Achilles Achilles. Uh, his mom, his name was thetis and she was immortal. He's, she was married to a mortal who is king of the [inaudible]. And what happened was she wanted to be a protect her son and make him as vulnerable as possible so that he wouldn't be hurt. So thetis takes her son Achilles and grabs him by the heel and dips him into the river styx, and by dipping them into the river styx, he becomes Louis am almost immortal.
Speaker 2: 01:16 But to the point where he's completely in, there was nothing that could hurt him except for the little tiny spot where her finger and her thumb held him by his Achilles tendon or his heel as she dipped him into the river styx. That's the only cake in his armor. It's the only weakness that he has. And so again, he's involved in the Trojan war, becomes one of the major players in the war and kills hector right outside the gates of the city of Troy. And it's just really the most one of the most important players in in that whole battle. But all of a sudden the gods get angry with him and a person ends up shooting his Arrow and the Arrow is literally directed by the gods into his Achilles tendon, into his heel and kills Achilles. And it just destroys the army and everyone else because they thought this guy was completely, literally immortal, almost unstoppable.
Speaker 2: 02:12 And I've thought so much about that in my own life as far as what am I, what's my own Achilles heel? What is the thing that stops me? What is the one thing that when everything else is going great, I know if I don't protect this one area, I'm going to get life's going to change. So for me, I can tell you my Achilles heel is the relationship with my wife. There's nothing else that matters in life. Aside from my love for my wife. An
