On this episode of Human Impact Ed talks to returning guest multi million selling author John David Mann and his wife Ana Gabriel Mann about their collaboration, the Go Giver Marriage, covering relationships, communication, the psychology of surviving trauma, our identity as adults the more we stay in one career and forget our true happiness.
And of course a mini-masterclass on writing fiction and developing characters.
Talking Points
- The Origins of the Go Giver in 2008, John being the New York King of writing Parables
- Wanting to co-author with Ana, always have collaborated before.
- Having 5 children between them and living with special needs, the origin of the characters in the book
- Holding the space for other people to grow and heal
- Grieving for the loss of a life you thought you would have and identity
- Discussing the Alchemist and the Little Prince
- Finding happiness internally and not through external achievements
- How to write fiction and fleshing out the psychology of the characters before you write a word
- How loneliness creeps into marriage and how the Go Giver is written from the soul.
- The importance of understanding our own ego in relationships, managing expectations in relationships
- unwinding co-dependence, anxiety and trauma

“I had the honor of going on the Ed Andrew's podcast, as well as interviewing him on the Humans 2.0 podcast. Ed has the ability to penetrate an individual's perceptual apparatus to give them a glimpse of who THEY REALLY ARE which is a 21st-century superpower.
