Ever felt like you’re running fast but not sure if you’re actually growing?

In this episode of Brick by Brick with Olatunde Akinwunmi, Creator of The V.I.T.A.L Architecture System™, you’ll discover the three universal stages of growth that every high performer cycles through and how to recognize exactly where you are right now.

Growth isn’t random.

It follows a pattern: Spark → Stretch → Shift → Spark again.

You’ll learn why motivation alone can’t sustain momentum, how to build systems that make hard things easier, and what neuroscience reveals about discomfort and transformation.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, plateaued, or overwhelmed, this is your roadmap back to clarity.

Once you see this loop, you’ll understand that frustration doesn’t mean failure it means your brain is upgrading.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know:

1. The difference between movement and true progress

2. Why most people fizzle out after the Spark

3. How to survive the messy middle (the Stretch)

4. The mindset that turns growth from a chase into a lifestyle

5. How to identify your stage and pick one simple habit to thrive there

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, creative, or professional in transition, this episode gives you a clear, science-backed path to build a life that fits you.

👣 Watch, reflect, and share:

Comment your current stage — Spark, Stretch, or Shift — and one small action you’ll take this week.

You care about quality.

You hold yourself to high standards.

But somewhere along the way, excellence started to feel heavy—like no matter how much you achieve, it’s never enough.

In this episode of VITAL Office Hours, Olatunde Akinwunmi (creator of the V.I.T.A.L Architecture System™) answers three real questions from high performers who feel stuck inside their own success:

Perfectionism: “How do I overcome it without lowering my standards?”

Comparison: “Why do I feel behind even though I’m doing well?”

Purpose: “How do I find what I’m truly meant to do?”Through practical wisdom, real-life stories, and powerful reframes, you’ll discover:

Why perfectionism is often fear in disguise.

1. How comparison quietly steals your joy.

2. And how purpose isn’t something you find—it’s something you weave.

3. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own ambition, this conversation will help you breathe again—reminding you that you’re not broken; you’re becoming.

There’s a hidden script quietly running your decisions—and it’s not written by you.

In this episode, I’ll show you how successful people break free and decide differently (and how you can too).

”Most people make decisions from pain, pressure, or popular opinion—then wonder why they stay stuck.

This episode shows a different path: making decisions from your values so your choices stop fighting your life.Inside:The four decision patterns: Drifters, Splits, Compromisers, Builders—which one are you right now?

Why “survival-mode” choices create hidden drag (procrastination, second-guessing, quiet resentment).

How your inherited values (parents, peers, culture) quietly script your choices—and how to rewrite that script.

A simple way to check any decision against your True North so you can move with clarity and conviction.

What to do when your values clash (e.g., freedom vs. security), and how to prioritize without regret.

By the end, you’ll have language for what’s been happening under the hood—and a practical lens to make fewer, better, faster decisions that actually feel like you.

This is the work that turns scattered effort into predictable progress.

SMART goals aren’t “wrong”—they’re just incomplete.

In this episode of Brick by Brick Broadcast, I debunk the famous “Yale 3%” story and the “write it down = 42%” claim, then introduce Precise Outcome Engineering (POE)—a practical way to design outcomes so action becomes automatic.

What we coverWhy SMART often measures numbers but misses momentum, identity, and context—and how that stalls real progress.

The POE lock-and-key model: your outcome is the lock; the keys are the exact conditions that unlock action.

The 8 POE qualities (with examples you can copy):

1)Specific,

2) Positively framed,

3) Personal & within your control,

4) Contextual,

5) Evidence protocol (sensory + tangible),

6) Chunked down,

7) Resource-efficient,

8) Ecological (whole-life fit).

Real-life demos: weight loss / morning walks, public speaking, and “promotion” goals rewritten into inputs you control.
