Nick and Tyler go deep in this episode — no guest, no scripts, just a raw conversation about the regrets that shaped them. From personal struggles with self-worth to professional burnout from trying to please every client, they unpack what perfectionism costs ... and what progress really looks like in life and in the trades.
