How do you live a life you won’t regret? Writer Daniel Sterling joins Giuliano Grimaudo for a conversation about purpose, risk, self-discovery, raising boys into good men, and learning to trust yourself enough to live the life that feels right for you.

Daniel grew up in Aspen, Colorado, and spent much of his life pursuing achievement through professional ski racing, broadcasting, screenwriting, and other ambitions. After reaching a breaking point at 39, meeting a mentor changed the direction of his life and began what he describes as the pursuit of an examined life.

That experience eventually inspired his memoir, “Hungry, a Memoir of Self-Discovery, Furthering of the Soul, and Evolution of the Spirit.”

In this conversation, Daniel and Giuliano explore what it means to truly know yourself, why certainty can feel so comforting, and what happens when the desire to avoid pain, failure, and risk starts dictating the way you live.

They also talk about regret and the things people spend years wanting to do without ever actually trying. Sometimes you might try something and discover it wasn’t for you. Sometimes it might change your life. Either way, there’s value in satisfying that curiosity rather than carrying the question around forever.

Daniel also shares his perspective on raising boys into whole men, masculine and feminine energy, and how parents can create relationships where their children feel safe being honest, making mistakes, and figuring out who they are.

Along the way, they get into childhood, hard work, quitting, money, financial security, being present, trusting yourself, and whether making life as safe as possible can actually keep you from fully living it.

Ultimately, the conversation comes back to a simple question: If your life ended sooner than you expected, would you be happy with the way you spent it?
