​It’s time to stop taking directions from people who haven't left the parking lot. We tackle the paralyzing fear of judgment and the shame of the "quit-list." By leaning on the Stoic indifference of Marcus Aurelius and the legendary "Man in the Arena" philosophy of Theodore Roosevelt, this episode reframes your "failures" as acts of courage. Learn why the "perfect" spectator is irrelevant and why the credit only belongs to the one who is actually in the dust, sweat, and blood of the fight.
