018. Embrace Change: Break Free from ‘Fine’ and the Sunk-Cost Trap


Listen Later

Stuck in a job that’s “okay,” a relationship that’s “alright,” or an apartment that’s “good enough”? Welcome to Region Beta - the comfort zone where fine is fatal to progress. In this episode I unpack why we cling to the mediocre, how sunk costs glue us in place, and what it really takes to embrace discomfort and move toward the future version of you that’s waving from the horizon.


What’s inside:

  • Region Beta explained: why mild pain is more dangerous than real pain
  • Sunk-cost fallacy—yesterday’s receipts that dictate today’s choices
  • The “lonely middle” between old friends and your new tribe
  • A three-step audit to price the true cost of staying put
  • Naval Ravikant’s reminder: “You only live once—why settle for mediocrity?”


If fine has become your default setting, hit play. Time to embrace change before change forces itself upon you.
