Was It Worth It? Escaping the Maze of Illusion | Who Moved My Cheese?, Spencer Johnson, M.D.

In this episode of Champion Reads, hosts and executive producers Jon Kovach Jr. and Ian Stermer dive into Spencer Johnson, M.D.’s timeless classic, Who Moved My Cheese?—but with a twist. They explore the deeper question behind the story: Was it worth it? Was the chase, the struggle, the fear, and the change actually worth what we were pursuing all along?

Jon and Ian unpack the “maze of illusion” we often find ourselves in—careers, relationships, goals, and identities that may have been built on comfort, fear, or other people’s expectations. Through honest reflection and practical insights, they challenge you to examine: Are you clinging to old cheese? Avoiding necessary change? Or courageously stepping into the unknown?

Tune in to reflect on your own journey and ask yourself: What cheese am I chasing—and is it really worth it?
