As January pushes on and the world continues to feel unsettled, Matt reflects on a conversation that stayed with him — an entrepreneur describing the moment you choose between the known and the unknown. Drawing parallels to his own journey, he explores why neither path is “braver,” but why choosing the wrong one for you guarantees quiet misery. This episode is about the reality of building in the dark: long stretches without clarity, brief flashes of illumination, and the discipline required to stay on the path between them. A meditation on faith, failure, and honoring the work you know you’re here to do.
