Broke, Pissed, and Still Showing Up | Ep 95

If you are broke, pissed, and still showing up, this episode is for you.

This is not an episode for people posting wins, screenshots, or fake momentum. This is for the builders in the middle. The ones doing everything they are told to do and still getting hit from every direction. The ones paying bills while trying to build a future that has not paid them back yet.

The middle is lonely. You have outgrown old circles but have not earned your place in the new ones yet. You are building things you have never built before, often with less money, more pressure, and more responsibility than you expected. The movie montage version of this phase skips the part where you are angry, exhausted, and quietly questioning whether any of this is working.

This episode walks through that reality without sugarcoating it.

We talk about why being broke again does not mean you are broken. Why information is not your problem but decision fatigue is. Why this is not burnout but constraint. Why the math not mathing does not mean the dream is dead, it means you are in the lag. Why momentum feels like a lie in the middle. Why anger is not the enemy but direction matters. Why mechanical discipline beats motivation every time. Why silence is strategic and goals should be private until they are done. Why progress always looks like a mess before it looks like anything at all.

Most importantly, we talk about responsibility. No one is coming to save you. No one is coming to give permission. That is not a curse, it is the point. When you own everything that impacts you, your life gets simpler, even if it does not get easier.

If you are tired of building but still building anyway, you are not alone. That may be the emotional state of 2026, but it is also where real leaders are forged.

If this episode hit you, share it with someone who needs to hear they are not crazy and they are not alone. If you want to connect with others walking this road, reach out. Personal relationships are becoming more valuable, not less, and this journey is lighter when you are not carrying it by yourself.

Everything you are doing matters, even if it does not feel like it yet.
