Jacob Sokol had all the trappings of a successful life in New York City but longed for passion and purpose. So he set off to find it, and deliberately and consciously designed the kind of life he was enthusiastic about. He ended up creating Sensophy, a blog that chronicled his journey and evolved into a business helping others live extraordinary lives.

In this episode of A Congruent Life, Jacob shares about:

the meaning and mission behind Sensophy;
a sense of disbelief in first grade in the rules of success in the world;
going through the motions of his career, but feeling shame about not being enough;
recognizing that the pain of staying the same was worse than the fear of the unknown;
a "ladder of consciousness," the dangerous place in the middle, and taking ownership of our lives;
the essential scaffolding of taking care of ourselves;
when we feel at our best, we perform at our best;
being willing to be "more you than is socially acceptable."
challenging that voice saying "Who am I to do this?"
