In today’s episode, I sit down with Blaine Bartlett to discuss the paradoxes that shape business, leadership, and personal growth. We talk about why doing hard things now often makes life easier later, how discomfort fuels growth, and why patience is essential when progress feels slow. We also explore the relationship between knowledge and awareness, the difference between discipline and devotion, and how resistance can keep us stuck. Along the way, we unpack the power of asking better questions, staying present, and understanding what truly matters. We finish with a conversation about giving, receiving, worthiness, and the abundance that comes from living with purpose.
