Nobody warns you that building a meaningful life doesn’t feel steady. Some days demand everything you’ve got, while others quietly remind you what you’re working for. In this episode, we talk about the unseen weight of responsibility, why certain seasons feel heavier than others, and how learning to recognize those moments changes everything. If you’ve ever felt pulled in two directions and wondered if that tension is normal, this conversation is for you.

Modern life is strange. On the surface, everything feels easier: ordering food, changing the thermostat, sending a message, buying anything you want with a tap. But behind that simplicity is a massive, invisible network of people, technology, supply chains, and collaboration that’s more complex than at any point in human history.

In this episode, Spencer and Gabe break down the paradox of modern life: tasks are getting simpler, but the world required to make them simple is getting more complicated. 

The day after Thanksgiving usually comes with leftovers, a slower pace, and a moment to breathe and it’s the perfect time to reflect on the people who made us who we are. Today we talk about something that matters more than goals, money, or success, the people who shaped their journey.
