In Part Two of our High Agency series, Matt and Paige dive even deeper into what it really means to live a high agency life—and what gets in the way.
We unpack the traps that keep people stuck: the vague trap, the midwit trap, the rumination trap, and the overwhelm trap. You’ll hear how overthinking and searching for the perfect, risk-free solution leaves people paralyzed, stuck in fantasy instead of action. We talk about defining problems clearly, trusting your gut, experimenting with bold choices, and taking the smallest next step to break through analysis paralysis.
You’ll also hear:
- The “Evil Twin” thought experiment: What would the most high-agency version of you do?
- How to stop chasing clarity and start earning it through action
- Why even painful or imperfect action is better than passive confusion
- The truth about trade-offs: there is no perfect decision, only movement
- The difference between controlling others and influencing outcomes with integrity
- Value Activation: the drill that helps you stop talking about your values and actually live them
- A framework for turning bullshit into reality—from journaling and wishing to doing and becoming
We also explore how to break down overwhelming problems into levels—just like video games do—and how taking action, even imperfectly, is what creates momentum, healing, and growth.
This episode will help you shift from vibes to reality, from inspiration to execution, and from feeling stuck to living on purpose.
You don’t need more clarity—you need more courage.
