In this episode, Jesse and Nick dive deep into a conversation about resistance—why we fight reality, why it exhausts us, and how surrendering to the natural flow of life (a.k.a. "The Tao") can transform your experience.

⚡ Key Themes in This Episode:

Why resistance is the root of suffering

The paradox of control vs. surrender

How to recognize when you're fighting reality (and what to do instead)

The dark night of the soul in business, relationships, and life

The illusion of self: Are you your thoughts, or something more?
