Cornwall ON Veterans Self-help Series
BY DANIEL COMP | JUNE 03, 2023
We start most adventures with more energy, and far less knowledge. We usually get fired up like a Fiat 500, unaware of the challenges ahead. We think the adventure is all about discovering new lands, unaware that it is all about seeing with new eyes. We're soon stuck in the middle of nowhere with a situation. Getting out of a rut takes extra effort, some tools, and a hand from someone that has gotten themselves out of something similar. That's what the Cornwall ON Veterans self-help Scotomaville series is about. It turns out that a FIAT is defined as a command spoken by an authority. It's often a precursor to a false belief first spoken by a parent, a teacher, a pastor, a judge. Scotoma! There's a way to reverse course!
WIDWID like a Fiat 500 in Cornwall ON
I bicycled across America three times to discover why I do what I do (widwid). I did not expect to discover that we’re 100% wrong 50% of the time. We don’t solve challenges from a clean slate - we start with presumptions made from previous false conclusions!
We are much like a Fiat 500. We head optimistically into fall with our skylight open and wicker basket exposed. Quickly, we are facing mountains of snow ill-prepared, lacking horsepower and guidance. We are shocked by every upset, and discover that it is not just a ‘three-hour tour’ (Gilligan's Island).
My transformation is obvious. My wife and business partner Angelina has watched me mature, not simply age. My awareness, understanding, and discipline have a solid 3/4” spine and three pounds of evidence across 45 video episodes and 336 full-color pages.

It turns out that my methodology is solid.
Yes, it took me several years to figure out what I was doing. Better said; I didn't know what I was doing had a name. It turns out that self-reflection video modeling is a very effective method for self-help and personal development. It's especially effective for intelligent, motivated, eccentrics like Curious Explorers, Ambitious Entrepreneurs, Functional Aspergians, Military Veterans, Wounded Warriors, Christian Storytellers, Noble Fathers, and Fatherless Champions.
Scotomaville Cornwall ON Veteran Self-help Pitch-deck
An expedition is a journey with a purpose. Our military duties were exactly that. Too bad we were not told so. Expeditions are filled with challenges, heart-break, losses, and some end with triumph. All of us Vets should appreciate our experiences, but few will share their stories, and even less will see the value, and healing that storytelling brings. That is what I discovered with Scotomaville.
