Ever feel like you're winning on paper but quietly losing in real life? In this episode, I bring back one of my best friends, Rob Murgatroyd, to break down how a massive life change sparked unexpected virality and a deeper sense of fulfillment. He shares his exact storytelling framework for stopping the scroll, creating curiosity, and driving engagement without chasing trends or pretending to be someone you're not. We also talk about why Rob left the U.S. for Italy, how your environment shapes identity more than most people realize, and the surprising reason why a 'dead' platform is now his #1 source of traffic. Get ready to rethink where you live, how you tell stories, and what "success" actually looks like in this season of your life.
