It comes from awareness, honesty, and the courage to try again differently. Today, I’m back with my friend Dan Hinz for a conversation that goes deeper into habits, health, mindset, and what it really looks like to invest in yourself over the long haul. We talk about systems versus goals, why daily habits matter more than big promises, and how psychology plays a bigger role in change than strategy ever will. Dan shares how coaching helped him identify blind spots, pivot careers, and create sustainable habits around work, health, and life. I also open up about what it means to be “happy” and still have hard days, and why doing the next right thing is often enough.
