Confronting the Painful Truth - The Inner Circle Ep. 5

A single question frames this conversation: What’s the most painful truth you’ve had to accept about yourself? Drawing from different stages of life, Mike and Kevin share the kinds of realizations that only come with time and self examination. The discussion is honest and raw, with their perspectives converging around growth and self awareness. They explore: • How painful self awareness becomes a catalyst for growth • The difference between accountability and self condemnation • What aging and limitation reveal about priorities and presence • How regret and compassion can coexist • Why confronting reality reshapes how you live the next chapter This conversation offers a grounded look at self reflection, and the clarity that can emerge when difficult truths are faced honestly and carried forward into daily life.
