It’s Chris’s birthday, and this episode gets deep and surprisingly emotional. We talk about the lessons that only your 30s and 40s can teach you, what you shed, what you tolerate less, and what finally becomes clear. Chris shares what last year taught him (including what his stroke changed for the better), why expectations are the #1 thing that keep us unhappy, and how wisdom, community, and clarity shift with age. We dive into what people in their late 30s or 40s need to know if they feel “behind,” how to curate a healthy community, why friendships are a part-time job, and why happiness is always found in pursuit.
