What does it mean to be ambitious?
Wed Jan 28 2026
Ambition is a trait many of us identify with. Dreaming big moves something in all of us (just look at the success of the marketing for "Marty Supreme").
But what does it really mean to be ambitious, and do we all imagine the same thing when we think about reaching our dreams?
Some people proudly describe themselves as ambitious, making it a core part of their identity. Others pursue ambition through quieter growth, personal development, and steady progress.Some dream of changing the world, while others strive for a grounded, mundane life full of simple small pleasures.
In this episode of Just Wandering, I explore how my relationship with ambition, success, and the pursuit of greatness has evolved, and is still evolving, over time.
After all, maybe changing the world starts with the mundane.
