Some of my takeaways: I often think that the most dangerous man in the world is the one who can remain disciplined, show up, and do the work even when the rewards are uncertain. The person who can tolerate the most uncertainty is the person who will ultimately win. Don’t let the quest for more distract you from the beauty of enough. The worst prison in the world is having the talent and intelligence to achieve something great but lacking the courage to go out and do it. Our greatest fear is in our highest possibility. Fear of failure and fear of success. Fear of never live that experience of high possibility again. If you were the main character in a movie of your life, what would the audience be screaming at you to do right now? Create the space in your life to actually think about what that thing is and then change accordingly.

1:23:57 that is when the phrase "comparison being the thief of joy" comes into play most people think about that interpersonally, but if you're not comparing your best day to your worst day and vice versa everyday has its own merits

Great episode! Fun comment: I usually listen to this podcast show on my phone but I had to switch to YouTube on this one because I couldn’t distinguish who of them two was speaking. So similar voices and intonations 😂
