What if the real path to success starts by choosing your life first — and trusting the business will rise to support it?

In this episode, Matt & Garrett sit down with Justin Roethlingshoefer, who walked away from a comfortable tech career to build a life aligned with purpose, energy, and lifestyle.

From surfing at sunrise to finding a community that fuels growth, this conversation explores the courage, curiosity, and discipline it takes to design a life you actually want — and then build the business to match it.

We talk about:

- Choosing lifestyle and fulfillment over titles and safety

- Identity shifts when you leave a “successful career” behind

- How curiosity, coaching, and repetition accelerate change

- Balancing discipline with joy, freedom, and play

- The surprising power of environment and community

- Why confidence follows action — not the other way around

This episode is a reminder: you don’t have to sacrifice your life to build success. When you get aligned, success shows up because of how you live — not in spite of it.
