Nobody Is Coming to Save You. Stop Waiting on the Universe

Everybody claps the day you quit. Nobody talks about what's still waiting for you after. Episode 344. Melissa Martineau Alexander is 18 years sober and came through depression and bankruptcy. Jerry spent 25 years on opioids after breaking his back. Neither one has patience for the magic wand version of self-help. In this episode: - Why quitting is the easy part, and what you actually have to face after - The "run out of cant's" drill: keep asking why until you hit your last excuse. That's your starting point. - Worth vs. entitlement, and why nobody gets paid what they're worth. You work your way up to it. - Why Melissa doesn't manifest. She orchestrates.
