Summary

In this episode of the Secret to Success podcast, ET, CJ, Karl, and Jemal dive deep into the idea of making decisions based on feelings versus staying true to the mission. Jemal explains how setting clear goals is like programming a GPS—you know exactly which turns to make to reach your destination. The crew shares powerful insights on why most people fail: they let emotions steer their actions instead of sticking to a well-defined path.
