Different jobs. Same boss. Different relationships. Same fight. Different year. Same stuck.

That's not bad luck. That's a pattern.

I've been in Miami with my brother Dave for almost a month and we have been deep in this conversation. Where our patterns come from. Why are they so hard to shake. And what it actually takes to change them.

I get personal in this one. My dad. My mom. My sister. My own stuff I'm working on right now. Because that's what this show is.

If you've ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same place — this one's for you.

3 Things You’ll Take Away:

1. How to see the pattern you're in. You can't change what you can't see. This episode shows you how to find it.
2. Why you keep choosing the same thing even when you know better. There's a real reason. And it's not weakness.
3. What actually breaks a pattern. Not willpower. Real tools you can use starting today.
