Summary
Welcome to the podcast. Adam, my guest today, judges himself harshly because not enough is happening for him financially. He lacks motivation and purpose, he thinks. He's afraid that he is a loser.
Can you relate to this? Have you ever experienced yourself as ambivalent, unfocused, hopeless? Do you think you should be doing more than you do, earning more than you earn? Join Adam as he questions the thoughts that are making him miserable. Open your mind and follow as he investigates the cause of what he considers a stubborn, lazy, sedentary, directionless life. Match his experience to your own, enter his sincere questioning, and let's do The Work. Would you give yourself anything less than freedom?
