Durand on Demand

In this episode, I use AI as a starting point to talk about something much deeper: pride. As technology advances and success grows, the real danger isn’t innovation, it’s forgetting where our gifts come from. If we lose humility, we lose everything. Let’s talk about why pride, not progress, is what leads to our demise.

If heaven isn’t your motive, what is?

In this episode, I talk about the reward you’re really working toward. Most people build their lives around success, security, influence, or comfort. None of those are wrong, but none of them are enough.

When the wrong reward becomes your motive, it eventually owns you.

There is only one motive that frees you while you pursue excellence. And if you get this wrong, everything else eventually falls apart.

Let’s talk about what you’re actually trading your life for.
