#20 - Stay True to Your Core

I wanted to teach philosophy at Michigan State. I ended up teaching fighter pilots at weapons school and now sharing lessons through this podcast.

Sometimes the path you're on is exactly what you wanted - just not how you pictured it. I share how my teaching dream evolved from college lectures to military instruction to podcasting, and why the core drive stayed the same even when everything else changed.

Key insights we explore:- The difference between your core drive and how you think it should look- Why paths rarely match our 18-year-old expectations - How to recognize you're living your dream even when it feels different- The question that reveals what truly energized you as a kid

Your challenge this week: reflect on what genuinely energized you as a teenager, then ask if you're closer to that core drive than you think.
