We’ve been sold a lie about success.
From day one, we’re handed a script: hustle hard, make money, chase clout, climb fast—and you’ll “make it.” But here’s the truth no one talks about:
You can win the game… and still lose yourself.
This episode of Hard Truths is your permission slip to stop climbing the wrong mountain. It’s a wake-up call to challenge the outdated definitions of success and start building a version that feels like freedom—not pressure.
Inside this episode:
The psychology behind why external success often feels empty
Why hustle culture, comparison, and over-productivity are traps—not triumphs
What Daniel Pink, Martin Seligman, and the Harvard Grant Study teach us about real success
How to spot fake goals (the ones handed to you by ego, fear, or social media)
A new internal metric system you can start living by today
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creator, student, or parent—this episode will help you hit pause and ask:
“What do I actually want to feel when I wake up?”
Because the truth is, success is personal. It’s not about what you’ve stacked—it’s about what you’re aligned with.
