Summary
Everybody loves a good story, right? That's what many of us believe, but this week, Gary's laying out some fundamental truths behind why you need to stop spinning up stories and how your backstory is just another mechanism for you to make bullshit excuses. So, come join the nation and get your story straight with the help of Gary's insights on these big questions from our listeners:
- How can I be a storyteller without getting caught up in the backstory?
- How can I bridge the gap between setting context for myself when setting a goal without overcommitting to the backstory?
- Is context another way of saying "living first with intention: and purpose? Will context help me set more purposeful goals?
- I feel like I've got years of knowledge and nowhere to go with it. How can I rise above this?
