Summary

In today’s episode, I break down why health is the real number one asset, and why chasing goals without asking “for the sake of what?” leads people off track. I share how losing everything forced me to reframe the meaning I gave my past, and how behavior either aligns with where I want to be or interferes with it. I walk through practical daily practices like non negotiables for sleep and health, lowering the bar to stay consistent, and refusing to stack two losses in a row. I also explain why being more interested than interesting changes everything.
