The Math Problem Before the Emotional Problem: Neal Conlon on Grit, Identity & Designing Your Future

We're told to follow our passion and that our emotions are our guide, but what if the biggest obstacles in our lives aren't emotional, but mathematical? What if the path to freedom, success, and a powerful identity isn't found in endless emotional processing, but in a simple, calculated equation?

In this episode of Catalyst Talks, I sit down with MARINE Neal Conlon, a US Marine Corps veteran, corporate strategist, and elite coach, to dismantle the stories we tell ourselves about why we're stuck. We explore how to strategically choose your identity, the surprising utility of money, and why before you have an emotional problem, you almost always have a math problem.
