Make that app clap

Hosts David and Cyd delve into a critical discussion about the widespread misconception that everyone can achieve wealth and success through the conventional measures, such as owning a business and making substantial financial gains. David shares a pivotal encounter from an astrology class that questioned the very foundation of the notion that everyone is destined for monetary success and opens up the conversation about the pressures of societal expectations.
The hosts discuss the differing results among individuals despite having similar resources, highlighting that success might require intrinsic qualities that not all possess. They argue that while coaching and educational programs can provide guidance, they cannot instill the fundamental drivers of success such as resilience, passion, and an innate desire that some may lack.

They underscore that while education and external guidance are invaluable, the core components of success must already reside within an individual.
