Episode Synopsis

In this reflective mentorship session, Matt and Will dive into the age-old question: What do you actually want? Through honest stories — including a lunch with a former CEO — they explore how clarity often comes through doing, not just thinking. Along the way, they unpack why excellence where you are matters, how to ask the right questions, and why mentors, curiosity, and courage are essential to building a life of meaning. This episode is a reminder that while it’s okay not to know, it’s dangerous to drift. Your life is precious.
