In this raw and honest solo episode, Luke opens up about what’s really been happening behind the scenes, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. After experiencing a panic attack and a period of intense self-reflection, Luke dives deep into what he now calls the Productivity Happiness Paradox: the trap of endlessly trying to achieve more in hopes of finally feeling “good enough.”

Luke shares how comparing himself to others, chasing metrics, and pushing productivity to the extreme pulled him away from the life he actually wants… and how he’s finally redefining “a good life” on his own terms.

He breaks down the four buckets he believes truly matter:

Health. Wealth. Relationships. Spirituality.

Not as hustle checkboxes, but as foundations for inner peace, connection, and genuine wellbeing.

Key Takeaways: 

• Why more success never fixes the internal “I’m not enough” narrative
• How comparison destroys mental clarity and happiness
• Why relationships and community matter more than achievement
• The systems and habits he’s removing to create more peace
• How he’s rebuilding a life based on meaning, presence, and connection
• Why productivity culture is keeping people miserable
