In this episode, we reframe the moments that feel like punches in the face—and show how they often become the turning points of your life. You’ll learn why setbacks aren’t the end, but redirections when you choose the right mindset. From Dr. Seuss getting kicked out of Dartmouth and reinventing himself, to losing a job days before having a baby, to the idea that jabs and haymakers both carry lessons, the big takeaway is simple: look for the opportunity hidden inside the setback.
