In this spontaneous, unplanned episode, CJ and Aaron diveinto a surprisingly deep conversation about trade-offs, meaning, and mindset.
After a last-minute decision NOT to take a consulting job on a Saturday — even though the money could buy a brand-new Mac Mini — Aaron realizes the real cost wasn’t the time… it was the story he would tell himself every time he turned that computer on.
They explore:
- Why “it’s never the thing — it’s what it means”- How entrepreneurs justify decisions in both directions- Corn dogs, steak bites, and why YouTube Shorts tanked a channel- The line between selfish and selfless when sharing your talents- Why posting your flag isn’t self-promotion — it’s service
You’ll hear:- Mindset
- Psychology
- Identity
- Marketing
- Legacy
And yes… also Sharknado.
