Summary
Six years. Three rewrites. A crypto portfolio wiped by tariffs. Grand plans that quietly dissolved. In this raw and honest episode, Michael reflects on the gap between the creative dream and the creative reality — and what it actually means to be in devotion to your work when no one is watching. Recorded from Tulum just weeks after his book launch, this is a meditation on ego, initiation, and the difference between the night of the wedding and the years of the marriage.
