Do you ever feel like you're in a rat race, constantly working to sustain a lifestyle you don't really want? In this episode, we discuss the pressure to keep up with the Joneses and the difference between wants and needs. We share personal stories, like the time I felt weird about driving my old car, and another time a valet shamed me for my Honda Accord.

We explore what it means to define success on your own terms, whether it's through financial freedom or simply controlling your time. We discuss the fine line between motivation and the rat race and why being intentional about your goals is the key to breaking free from the cycle. Our mission is to have honest, relatable conversations about business, career growth, and life. If you want to go beyond the grind, this episode is for you.
