Happy New Year, Fear | Why Most People Quit on Themselves by January 21

CAGES (Episode 2)
Most people don’t fail because they’re lazy.
They fail because fear wears a suit and calls itself “responsibility.”

This episode is about accountability, and the cages we refuse to leave…even when they’re killing us.

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Sum of Them Podcast.

Twenty years ago, I was freezing in Navy boot camp while my wife was giving birth to our first son at just 24 weeks. He weighed 2 pounds, 7 ounces. I didn’t hold him for four months. Today, that same fighter is 20 years old, healthy, strong, and standing tall. This episode is for him.

We chop it up about accountability, not the Instagram version, but the kind that forces you to look in the mirror and stop outsourcing responsibility for your own life.

Topics:
• Why most New Year’s resolutions are already dead by January 21
• The lie of “trying” and why it keeps people stuck
• How fear disguises itself as logic and responsibility
• Why Im walking away from a six figure income
• The real cost of comfort, stability, and playing it safe
• Why no accountability partner can save you
• And how self-awareness becomes a weapon when you stop lying to yourself

This aint motivation.
This is confrontation with self.

If you’re tired of blaming your job, your past, your parents, your husband, your wife, or the system, I think you may want to listen to this episode first.

Aint nobody coming.
Today is the day.
Move.
