What Does It Mean to Be All In?
In this insightful episode, the hosts dive deep into the meaning of being 'all in' across different aspects of life—work, family, and personal goals. They discuss personal experiences, such as tackling zoning for a new business, training for ultra-marathons, and balancing a demanding military career with family commitments. The conversation addresses the challenges of prioritizing competing responsibilities, the impact of significant life decisions, and the myths perpetuated by social media influencers about commitment. The episode also provides practical advice for evaluating major life decisions through four key considerations: divine guidance, family impact, personal well-being, and community influence.
