On a surprisingly warm January day, Matt reflects on the strange but welcome challenge of early 2026: an abundance of opportunity. As Amped evolves and The Building Business Relationships Show moves closer to its next phase, he explores a powerful realization — alignment isn’t just about personal fulfillment, it’s what makes meaningful service possible. When the “why” stays rooted and the “how” stays flexible, trust builds faster, learning accelerates, and helping others becomes natural rather than forced. This episode is a meditation on staying open, resisting the urge to over-optimize, and remembering that clarity — not control — is what creates momentum.
