Solved, Highlights: How to Find Your Values


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt stuck, or like you’re doing all the right things but something still feels off, there’s a good chance it’s a values problem. Not a discipline problem, not a productivity problem. A values problem. Most people have never actually sat down and figured out what they care about. Not really anyway.

This clip is from our episode How to Find and Live By Your Values, which came out back in May 2025 and is honestly one of the episodes I’m most proud of. Drew and I go through a bunch of exercises to help you actually figure out what you value, not what you think you’re supposed to value. 


We cover things like:

  • How to identify your core values with a simple hypothetical scenario.

  • How to clearly define what you want your legacy to be

  • Ways to prioritize your values by making tough decisions.

  • How to turn frustrations into your deepest values.

  • Why the hierarchy of your values is more critical than any single one of them.

  • And why your willingness to sacrifice for something says a lot more about you than just what you think you want in life.
