What's up, guys? Today's podcast episode covers three insanely important questions that I can

virtually guarantee you are not putting nearly enough effort into asking and or answering.

These three questions represent the three largest pillars of life that nobody thinks about,

which are number one, where you live, number two, who you're with, and number three, what you're

doing. So in today's podcast episode, I'm going to start with a story to demonstrate how to think

about each one of these questions, each one of these pillars, and then I'll get into

to happen. I can't continue on this hike. I can't get to where I want to go because there is a

blockage in the way. So at this point, there's one of two actions that I can take.

Action number one is I can throw my hands up and say, ah, you know, I tried and I can't get there.

I walked all this way. I walked for hours. I walked for miles. I'm finally here. And I guess this is

the end of my hike, right? That's option one.

Option number two is you can say, huh, okay, this sucks. I'm going to go back to the starting

point or at least maybe back halfway and see if I can find another path. And sure enough,
