Most people never fully commit because they keep a quiet exit plan. In this episode, John shares a simple conversation that led to an ancient lesson from Hernán Cortés about commitment, courage, and why progress often requires removing the option to retreat. A reminder that growth usually begins when we stop planning our escape and move forward with conviction.

🟩 Quote of the Day: You rarely discover how good something can be until you stop planning your exit.
