You ever bench the wrong player and swear you’ll never trust your gut again?
Yeah… us too.
This week’s Campfire Conversation starts with a backyard fire and a fantasy football meltdown—but it doesn’t stay there for long. We’re talking about the illusion of control—in your lineup, your money, your life—and what happens when your perfect plan doesn’t go perfectly.
Around the fire, Ryan and the crew get real about spreadsheets that fall apart, the myth of “feeling ready,” and why we chase certainty even when we know it’s an illusion.
It’s funny. It’s familiar. It’s a little too true.
🔥 Feeling like you’re gripping too tight?

No pressure. Just a real talk about what matters most—around a metaphorical fire.
