Have you ever felt like you’re stuck but doing everything you know to do?
In this episode, I crack open a powerful passage from Principles by Ray Dalio—specifically page 186—and talk about the two hidden barriers that are keeping you from realizing your full potential: your ego and your blind spots.
Most of the time, we get trapped in our own heads, spinning in circles, thinking we can figure everything out ourselves. But what if the very act of “figuring it out” is what’s keeping you stuck?
This one’s honest. It’s raw. And it’s something we’ve all lived. I’m breaking it down in a way that makes it real, and more importantly, actionable.
If you’ve been crashing into the same walls over and over, this episode is for you.
🔑 What You’ll Learn:
Why you can’t always trust what you think you see

Why blind spots aren’t just what you don’t know—but what you refuse to see
Three specific ways to break out of your own head and finally adapt
How to teach your brain to work in new, uncomfortable ways (and why that’s a good thing)

Why asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom

Keep it simple. Keep it moving.
Never settle. Stay tough.
