“If something were to happen to me today, would I be happy? Would I be fulfilled living the kind of life that I’m living right now?”

In this episode, Nick speaks with Utkarsh Narang to explore the themes of self-mastery, personal development, and the importance of deeper conversations. Utkarsh shares his insights as an executive coach, emphasizing the need for awareness, acceptance, and action in the journey of self-discovery. They discuss societal pressures, the superficiality of modern interactions, and the significance of finding one’s values and purpose.

What to listen for:
  • Parenthood can bring unexpected joy and responsibility.
  • Superficial conversations are prevalent in society, and deeper connections are needed.
  • Societal pressures can shape our choices and beliefs about success.
  • Self-reflection is crucial for personal growth and understanding oneself.
  • Awareness and acceptance are the first steps towards self-mastery.
  • Taking small, intentional actions can lead to significant change.
  • Values play a critical role in guiding our decisions and actions.
  • The journey of self-discovery is ongoing and requires patience.
  • Embracing the challenges of life can lead to personal fulfillment.

    • “The world is nothing but eight fucking billion perceptions, each one trying to prove that mine is better than yours. It is not.”

    • Everyone’s view is valid, and no one’s perception is inherently superior.
    • Life is about accepting different perspectives, not proving one right over another.
    • Constantly trying to be “right” just breeds tension. What matters is understanding, not competition.
    • Each person is living their own unique version of reality. There is no universal truth.
    • When we stop competing to be “right,” real connections and growth can happen.

      • “Change is inevitable. Whether I do something about it or not, things are going to change outside of me and inside of me.”

      • Fighting change is pointless—it’s going to happen whether we like it or not.
      • Internal growth happens naturally, just like external changes, whether or not we push for it.
      • Life is always in motion. The more you resist change, the harder it becomes.
      • While you can’t stop change, you do get to choose how you respond to it.
      • Change may feel unsettling, but it’s often where the most growth happens.

        • “We need to spend 2% of our day—just 28 minutes—connecting with ourselves. Sit with your thoughts. It may be uncomfortable at first, but something will emerge.”

        • Carve out time daily to reconnect with yourself—just 28 minutes can shift everything.
        • Sitting with your thoughts can feel awkward, but that’s where clarity begins.
        • 28 minutes may seem small, but over time, it compounds into deeper self-awareness.
        • When we create space for stillness, answers and insights naturally bubble to the surface.
        • Consistently making time for reflection helps you tune into your authentic self.
