We wrap Season 3 with one of our most personal, reflective, and laugh-filled episodes yet. From stupid humor that sends us into tears to deep questions about legacy, fulfillment, and friendship, this one hits on all fronts. Dan opens up about accountability and what it means to show up, Marcel reflects on chasing meaning beyond metrics, and together we look at what it means to keep trying—creatively, emotionally, and personally.
