Should you live for your resume...or your eulogy?

Today, we're talking about a thought-provoking concept that challenges the conventional norms of success and fulfillment

I share a deeply personal story of his own struggle with prioritizing career and financial success over the more profound aspects of life. With a powerful message of "building your eulogy" rather than your resume, I discuss to light the transformative power of shifting priorities towards legacy, relationships, and personal well-being.

In this episode, I dive into the idea of living life as if we are in a matrix, exploring the rules, patterns, and systems that can help us achieve success and fulfillment.

I talk about insights from tech visionary Elon Musk and philosopher Nick Bostro, who explain why adopting a matrix mindset can lead to a more intentional and empowered life.

From understanding skill stacks to emulating the behaviours of successful individuals, this episode offers practical insights and strategies for engineering a better future. Join us as we unpack the concept of the matrix mindset and discover the tools to help us achieve our dreams.
