I've been traveling a lot this past year. Dallas every month since February. New Orleans. Chicago.

Every trip taught me something. But one lesson kept showing up—something I had to learn over and over again.

The same event can crush one person and propel another forward. I used to wonder what made the difference. Then I figured it out.

When I was in my 30s, a coworker called me "grandpa." I could barely move. That moment became my wake-up call.

It reminded me of something about pain and why we stay stuck in it longer than we need to.

What I understand now about how the brain works—I wish I knew back then.

Stick around till the end for an important announcement about the podcast.
