No one likes abrupt change, no one likes simple change. We know what we know, and we like what we like. What if though, we looked at it from a different perspective. A perspective that allowed us to see that it might not be that hard.

The holidays are moving in quick, and next thing you know it will be 2026. One thing that I do is think of what is my word for the next year. I want something that will stick and apply to all the things I want for 2026.

Out of pocket day, but after that super moon aren't we all a little off?

Have you ever changed for someone? Maybe your hair? Your job? Maybe what you wanted to do in life?

Why do we do this?

I want to dissect this, understand it, and finally talk you through how the top shelf is where you should only be.

I 100% owe my uncle Chet for this episode and being unbiased always, because his question will always be when I ask him for advice is...

What is stopping you?

It is a valid question and a question I always answer with, nothing. So then what is stopping you from your passion project?
