Feeling stuck at the peak of your success?

In this raw and energizing kickoff to Season 2, Lon Stroschein and Adam Eaton dive deep into the emotional crossroads elite performers face when they least expect it.

They unravel the "Eight Universal Struggles" of transition and share their proven process to help you trade comfort for clarity and reclaim your best days ahead.

If you've ever wondered, "What's next for me?"—this episode is your guide.

Welcome to Season 2! Here's an episode Summary:
Lon and Adam kick off Season 2 with a classic "ramble" that includes introspection and actionable wisdom. Reflecting on Lon's transformative journey—from public company executive to lifestyle engineer—they set the stage for a season full of candid conversations and valuable insights. In this episode, the duo digs into:
  1. The Eight Universal Struggles: Lon distills lessons from over 700 Rambles, identifying eight struggles elite performers face: risk/reward, time, health, money, identity, relationships, control, and legacy.
  2. The Trade: Understand that transformation doesn't always mean a total overhaul. Sometimes, it's about re-engineering your life to align with your values.
  3. Shame, Guilt & Frustration: Addressing the unique pain of "having it all but feeling so little" and reframing self-doubt as the first step to change.
  4. Relationships & Communication: Being honest with your spouse and loved ones about your journey to self-discovery is crucial.
  5. The APA Framework: Accept your feelings, Permit yourself to act on them, and take small, visible steps forward.
Key Takeaways:
  • Transformation doesn't need to be radical; it can start by identifying the "ingredients" of your ideal life.
  • Success isn't just about external achievements but internal alignment and meaningful relationships.
  • Lon's "Normal 40" is about helping high-achievers tap into their backstory to chart the path forward.
