The Inner Circle
You Don’t Avoid Pain, You Decide What it Turns You Into - The Inner Circle Ep. 1
Step inside The Inner Circle, where Kevin Dahlstrom and I speak freely and honestly without judgment challenging each other in pursuit of truth.
In this first episode, Kevin and I unpack one of my most controversial statements: “I wish upon everyone a failure that brings you to your knees.” We’re not talking about pain for pain’s sake, but about what failure can teach us that success never will.
We unpack:
• Why the wins don’t teach you nearly as much as the losses
• The identity trap we fall into and how to escape it
• Why letting go of control can be the most liberating move you make
• How to teach your kids resilience without manufacturing pain
• The shift from fixed identity to fluid self-definition
• What it really means to redefine wealth, purpose, and alignment as fathers and entrepreneurs
If you’ve ever wished for a place to bring your real questions and hear unfiltered truth, this is it. The Inner Circle is where iron sharpens iron and honesty inspires growth.
