Summary

Over the last six-months, I took some time to write and hike and be with the family.

In that quiet, potential became my obsession - mine and yours.

Most of us begin life future-focused and then quietly start measuring possibility by yesterday’s résumé.

That mental pivot shrinks what could still be born.

In this episode, I show you how desire points to unused capacity and resilience gets you there. Exploring your potential is the greatest thrill. It’s also your biggest contribution. Let’s find out who you can become.

What You Will Discover:

The subtle moment we start letting yesterday predict tomorrow and how to reverse it.
Why past results are the worst predictor of future potential.
How desire acts as a compass for growth at any age.
A simple practice to build resilience so you can turn wanting into having.
The key to separating self-worth from achievement while chasing big goals.
