Nic and Tarina open this episode talking about his latest travels and how he shaved his head. “Everybody with a shaved head is really sexy,” Nic quotes Tarina. Of course, she denies it. (Time for a new podcast photo!)

Today’s discussion centers on a question Nic’s mentor Mark LeBlanc asked him a long time ago. The question is: What do you want? As Nic explains, this isn’t about wanting a new pair of sneakers. It’s about the life we want and how we want to live, not merely material things.

This question—What do I want?—is actually the second hardest question. The hardest question you will ever have to answer is: What are I willing to do get what I want?

The truth is there’s a cost to pursuing what we want—sacrifices, compromises, and reality checks. It’s these questions which force you to make decisions and better decisions.

Tarina and Nic share some of their personal wants and the hard decisions they each had to make to achieve what was most important to them. They give listeners an peak behind the curtain at the Bittle Ranch.

As Nic points out, to do what we have to do to achieve what we want might only need three seconds of courage. The first victory comes in having the courage to figure out what you really want. The second victory comes in pursuing it.
