Some seasons of life are defined by money, and not in a good way. Those years test your patience, your relationships, and your identity. But they can become turning points and leave lessons that last long after the struggle is over.
This week, we're talking about the kind of year that stretches everything. When progress feels invisible and the usual advice doesn’t cut it, it’s easy to lose momentum or give up entirely. We’ve been there, and in this episode, we’re sharing what helped us stay focused and keep moving forward when it felt like things were falling apart.
Inside, we get into:
- How to know if you’re in a “hard year” (and why that label matters)
- Why you need new ways to measure progress when money is tight
- What baseball, burnout, and corporate spin can teach us about manufacturing wins
- How to make quitting harder
If money’s been testing you lately, and you're tired of pretending it’s fine, this one's for you.
