Expect a bit of chaos, the occasional NSFW topic, and some colorful language along the way. Whether we're dissecting societal norms or just calling out the nonsense, this is your space for honest conversations and unapologetic truths.
Tune in, get uncomfortable, and maybe learn a thing or two! You might even laugh along the way.

Most people think the purpose of life is to “find yourself” or “chase your happiness.” That’s why most people are still miserable. In this episode I dig into the hard truth: self-centered living is a scam. Backed by decades of research from the Harvard Study of Adult Development to Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, we’ll unpack why a life that revolves around you is guaranteed to be empty, and why the only path to real fulfillment is living for others.
