Why are people so skilled at making goals or projections but so novice at knowing what it takes to accomplish them? 

In this thought-provoking episode, the hosts dive deep into the concept of "Life's Math," exploring why people often miscalculate the steps needed to achieve their goals and how this leads to suffering. Joined by first-time guest Jared, the discussion unravels the patterns of flawed perceptions, the role of humility in learning, and the importance of challenging one’s own assumptions. Through candid conversations and real-life examples, the speakers tackle the tension between grandiose dreams and realistic effort, offering insights into how curiosity and self-awareness can break cycles of frustration and foster personal growth.
