✅ How cultural literacy became Jim’s strategic advantage across Japan, China, and the U.S.

✅ How creativity and curiosity protects you from stagnation

Why do so many high achievers, perfectionists, and children of immigrants never feel “good enough”, especially around family and the holidays? In one of our most important conversations, we sit down with Jane Marie Chen — Harvard & Stanford grad, award-winning social entrepreneur, and author of the memoir “Like a Wave We Break” — to unpack how childhood trauma, family patterns, and achievement psychology shape our adult lives.

If you’re healing from childhood wounds, trying to forgive your parents, or realizing that achievement has become your coping mechanism… this episode will hit home.

We share:

✅ Why achievement becomes a coping mechanism for so many children of immigrants

✅ How childhood shapes your self-worth, ambition & need to overperform

✅ How trauma lives in the body (and why talk therapy alone can’t release it)

✅ How to set boundaries with family without losing compassion

✅ Why overachievers burn out — and how to stop earning your worth

💚 If you’re struggling with depression or mental health issues, you’re not alone:Call 800-950-6264 or text “NAMI” to 62640.If you’re in crisis, call or text 988.

We share: 

✅ The “sorry reflex” and how it destroys authority

 ✅ Permission-seeking language that quietly erodes your credibility
 ✅ The hidden trap of toxic gratitude and how it keeps you stuck
 ✅ Mini-exercises to help you build a stronger, more powerful leadership voice

Working with family is messy, emotional, and sometimes feels like psychological warfare. In this episode, we sit down with Paul Rabil and Mike Rabil — brothers, co-founders, and the duo behind the Premier Lacrosse League — to unpack the reality of building a business with your sibling.

We go deep into the psychology of family partnerships, the hidden conflicts behind the PLL, and what it really takes to build a sports empire with someone who knows every version of you.

We share:

✅ Why sports is the last great unifier and the only industry AI can’t disrupt

✅ How the Rabil brothers built the PLL and turned lacrosse into a cultural force

✅ The “strength, speed, endurance” framework for creators & founders

✅ How siblings can disagree fiercely without blowing up the business

✅ Why imposter syndrome becomes a competitive weapon

✅ The rise of women’s sports & why the WLL is next

This isn’t just a story about the Ivy League — it’s about the systems that define elite education and teach us what “success” is supposed to look like.

How prestige, pressure, and performance culture shapes (and potentially crushes) the next generation of leaders, founders, and decision-makers.

Many of us were taught to believe these institutions were built for us — that if we worked hard enough, we could earn a seat at the table. But the truth is, these schools were never designed to serve everyone equally. They were designed to sustain power.

Even if you’ve never set foot on an Ivy League campus like Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, you’ve felt its influence. You’ve seen how prestige opens doors and how it quietly decides who gets access to opportunity.

If you’ve ever wondered why some people seem to have a head start, this episode pulls back the curtain on what’s really happening at these schools.

From hidden hierarchies to the illusion of meritocracy, we ask: What are we really chasing when we chase prestige?

We share:

✅ The privilege and pressure that come with elite education

✅ How prestige rewires your self-worth (and how to unlearn it)

✅ The mental health toll of “always achieving”

✅ What we learned from walking away from systems built on validation

✅ How to define success on your own terms — beyond the brand names
