In this episode, Dr. Killeen shares a powerful and unexpected story about G. Dep, a rapper who carried the weight of a single decision for nearly two decades—and what happened when he finally chose honesty over comfort. The conversation isn’t about crime or punishment, but about the quiet stress that comes from living out of alignment with yourself. Dr. Killeen reflects on why sometimes it’s okay to disappoint others if the alternative is disappointing yourself, and how unresolved inner conflict can quietly drain your energy at work and at home.

In today’s episode, Dr. Killeen shares a simple mindset shift that makes hard things feel a whole lot easier: don’t go it alone.

He breaks down how connection reduces intimidation, why progress is easier with even one supportive friend, and how a simple “Growth Chat” group can keep you moving forward. Plus, he highlights how communities like DSN can help you climb the big hills in practice ownership with confidence. A relaxed, encouraging episode about the power of teamwork—no matter the goal.
