Discover the crucial role of understanding your deeper “why”, and how it can make or break your final push toward success. Drawing on their experiences in sports and personal projects, Tim and Mario highlight the difference between expectations and purpose—revealing why a strong sense of “why” is essential for navigating obstacles, embracing the journey, and trusting the process.
