In this solo short episode, CJ discusses the importance of playing the right game in life.
He emphasizes the need to focus on our own desires and goals rather than succumbing to external pressures. CJ shares his personal experience of chasing goals that weren't truly his and the impact it had on his life. He highlights the struggle many face in trying to meet societal expectations while feeling disconnected from their true selves.
Ultimately, C.J. encourages listeners to align their actions with their authentic selves to avoid the exhaustion of living a life that doesn't fulfill them.
