Most people want different results—but they’re afraid to live differently. In this episode, we confront that fear head-on and talk about what it really means to be different in today’s world. This isn’t about being quirky for the sake of it. It’s about intentionally going against the grain to live a life of deeper meaning, purpose, and freedom.
We explore the cost of comfort, the danger of fitting in, and the slow drift toward mediocrity that happens when you stop leveling up. We break down how values—not goals—should guide your decisions, and how sticking to your North Star will set you apart in your health, your relationships, your business, and your walk with God.
This is for anyone who’s felt the tension between who they are and who they could be.
📌 Key Topics:
✅ Why being different is the price of real freedom
✅ The invisible influence of your peer group
✅ The myth of comfort—and how it’s keeping you stuck
✅ Choosing your hard: divorce, disease, or discipline
✅ Delegation isn’t laziness—it’s leadership
✅ Understanding risk and building asymmetric upside
✅ Why your values must be louder than your culture
✅ Defining success on your own terms (and no one else’s)
✅ Habits, cold plunges, and becoming the person you were meant to be
✅ Why most people stop at level 10 when the game goes to 100
The world doesn’t need more people playing it safe—it needs more people willing to stand out. Be different. Be free.
