Hey friends, Chase here.
Ever feel like life is happening somewhere else?
You're in the room, but your mind’s a thousand miles away—replaying something you said, stressing about what’s next. It's normal. It's human. But it's also how we miss the best parts of life.
The past is over. The future isn’t real yet. All we ever really have is right now.
It took an avalanche—yes, a literal one—for me to fully understand this. In those few terrifying seconds, time slowed down. I was completely present. Fully alive.
That experience changed me. And I’ve been trying to live like that ever since.
You don’t need something dramatic to wake up. You just need to start paying attention. That’s what this episode is about: why this moment is everything, and how to stop missing it.
Until next time, stay present, and stay awake.
