239. The Price of Admission
Wed Feb 04 2026
What if the reason you haven’t pursued that dream—the business, the relationship, the next chapter—isn’t because you’re not capable… but because you’ve been avoiding the price of admission?
In this episode, we’re unpacking a truth most people overlook: everything you want comes with a cost. Not just money—but emotional risk, rejection, uncertainty, and discomfort. And here’s the twist: not going after your dream comes with a price too—regret, stagnation, restlessness, a life that feels “fine” but far from fulfilling. So the real question is: Which price are you choosing to pay.... growth or regret?
We’ll explore why meaningful goals feel hard (hint: you’re not doing it wrong), why you don’t need to feel “ready” to go all in, and why investing in yourself as an adult is one of the most courageous things you can do. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally bet on yourself, this episode is it. It’s time to stop negotiating with your dreams and start paying the price to live a life that feels fully yours.
