Jordan Peterson dropped something on Instagram that stopped me cold. "If you're not having to think about something big and stressful, then all you'll think about is something small and delusional." Hit me like a truck. Made me realize something about the difference between people who grow and people who stay stuck. Right now I'm thinking about building companies. Taking the company public. Speaking gigs. My kids turning eighteen soon. Real things. Big things. Stressful things. But they're actually happening. They matter. They push me forward. But when you don't have bigger challenges your brain fixates on this meaningless stuff. It treats minor inconveniences like major crises. That's the trap of comfort. When you remove real challenges from your life you don't get peace. You get obsessed with trivial problems. Here's what I learned about stress and pressure. They're not something to avoid. They're something to seek out. The only way to grow is through pressure. The only way to gain experience is through stress. Whatever you're dreaming about amplify it by two. Make it harder. Make it scarier. Put real pressure on yourself. That's how diamonds are made. Coal compressed under enormous pressure. You need that pressure to become who you're meant to be. Stop avoiding stress. Start seeking the right kind of stress. Big challenges. Real problems. Meaningful pressure that pulls you toward your potential.

Arjun Dingra brought something special to this conversation. Two-time Taekwondo world champion. Twenty-five years in mortgage and real estate. Founder of the LFG Society. This man understands resilience at levels most people never reach. Arjun's story starts with getting bullied as a kid. His mom accidentally put him in Taekwondo instead of karate. That mistake changed everything. But here's what really got me. Arjun survived 2008. That financial collapse wiped out most people in mortgage and real estate. Six hundred thousand professionals exited the industry. Arjun stayed. Not because he was smarter than everyone else. Because he understood something deeper about resilience. Arjun felt that loneliness and vowed never to let anyone else experience it alone. That's where the LFG Society came from. Not from success. From surviving the worst and wanting to make sure others don't suffer alone. The LFG Society isn't just another mastermind. It's a community built on martial arts principles. Good students learn anytime anywhere. Arjun sees opportunity where others see problems. His advice for getting into mortgage or real estate right now. The industry purged six hundred thousand people who treated it like easy money during COVID. Now there's demand for real advisors. People who understand markets. Who can guide clients strategically. Not just process transactions. The conversation about values and boundaries hit deep. Sometimes you have to go scorched earth. Not from emotion. From principle. When your core values are threatened you don't compromise. That's wisdom from both business and martial arts. Know when to de-escalate. Know when to stand firm. Arjun embodies the principle of being in service to others. His whole career. His community. His teaching. All focused on lifting people up. That's why success follows him. You can't be lonely in business when you're genuinely serving others.

What’s shakin’? In this episode, I’m diving into a powerful message inspired by one of my favorite artists, Ed Sheeran, and his song Save Myself. There’s a line in that track that stopped me in my tracks: “Before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself.” That hit me deep—and I think it’s something you need to hear today too. Here’s the truth: so many of us give and give until there’s nothing left, pouring from cups that are already half-empty. Whether it’s people-pleasing, distraction from our own struggles, or just pure compassion, we end up neglecting ourselves. But the only way to give in a healthy way is to build from overflow—when your cup is filled so high that it naturally spills over into others’. In this episode, I break down why loving yourself, forgiving yourself, and taking full responsibility for where you are is the key to getting where you want to be.
