I'm Not Who You Think I Am

The Motivated Mind ·

2024/11/07

We’re all navigating a world where image is everything, but it’s hard to show up as our true selves when so much of life demands a polished facade. When my wife and I had our daughter, Ainsley, our life turned upside down in the best way possible—and then, in a moment of boldness (or madness), I left my stable job to pursue a new path. It was a leap that shifted our lives and pulled me into a new version of myself that even I didn’t quite recognize. In a culture that idolizes a highlight reel, it’s

We live in a world of speed, where new apps reach millions of users in weeks and our inboxes overflow with notifications. The pace of life has skyrocketed, and while this rapid innovation pushes us forward, it often leaves us feeling overwhelmed, overcommitted, and lost.

Yet here you are, living the result of the choices you made over the past three months, whether you put in the work or let things slide.

2024/10/14

We’ve all been there—hours spent overthinking every little thing. What will people think? Do they like me? Is my shirt giving away the fact that I’m stressing about what people think of me? But what if there was a better way to spend that mental energy? In this episode, I dive deep into a cultural phenomenon that’s been gaining traction—not giving a f*ck.
