This episode explores success as a subjective, evolving concept influenced by life stages (20s, 30s, 40s), emphasizing internal fulfillment through relationships, self-awareness, and alignment with personal purpose over external validation like wealth or career status.

In this episode you'll hear:
  • Success is framed as a subjective, evolving concept that shifts across life stages (20s, 30s, 40s, etc.), emphasizing relationships, self-awareness, and internal fulfillment over external validation.

  • Personal definitions of success include emotional connections (e.g., family, friends), self-alignment with "intelligence" (inner purpose), and daily effort toward doing one’s best.

  • Societal pressures and external markers (career status, wealth) are contrasted with internal metrics of success, such as self-worth and freedom from societal expectations.
