What if everything modern culture tells us about fulfillment is wrong?

In this compilation episode, we explore the two foundational lies that drive much of our dissatisfaction and drift: the belief that chasing fame, wealth, and power will make us happy, and the belief that if we're comfortable, we're somehow doing it wrong. Discover how these lies shape the decisions we make, the ladders we climb, and the regrets we carry into our final days.

We unpack the four idols that distract us from what actually matters, why deliberately choosing discomfort builds the capacity for everything else, and what the dying wish they had known sooner. Learn how to recognize when you're being pulled toward the wrong things, how to build a life around what truly fulfills you, and why thinking about death isn't morbid - it's the tool that helps you live fully right now.

Where do you feel most alive, and with whom? In this conversation with Daniel Coyle, author of Flourish, we explore why the most powerful experiences of our lives aren't about individual achievement—they're about shared, joyful, meaningful growth. Discover how to shift from chasing success alone to building the communities that make us feel deeply connected, fully present, and truly ourselves.

We break down the two attention systems that shape how you experience the world, why awakening cues can transform ordinary moments into meaningful connections, and how saying yes to "yellow doors"—those unexpected opportunities you'd normally pass by—can lead to the richest relationships of your life. Learn how to become what Daniel calls an "athlete gardener," intentionally cultivating the conditions where you and the people around you can flourish together.

Are you an asset to the people around you, or are you unknowingly becoming a burden? In this conversation with Chris Irwin and Mark England, we explore the surplus value mindset—the difference between those who add more than they take and those who don't. Discover how to become the person everyone wants on their team, in their family, and in their community.

We break down the simple question that transforms how you show up: in this situation, am I an asset or a burden? Learn how physical and mental fitness both come down to your capacity to respond, why breathing is the baseline skill for leadership and contribution, and how self-awareness is the first step toward creating real value in the world.
