You Want It All But Don’t Want What It Takes

This episode marks the first Q&A dilemma session where I address your questions on ambition, discipline, identity, relationships, freelancing, and more.


Topics covered include:

  • Why balance is a myth and obsession is essential
  • Knowing when to cut people off and detach
  • Living for your parents versus building your own life
  • The difference between wanting a life and wanting its aesthetic
  • Why self-respect might mean disappointing the right people
  • Creating loops to make discipline sustainable
  • Freelancing as an ideal business model when you start with nothing
  • Surviving the transition to self-employment
