LikedHave you ever had a goal, a plan, and the motivation—only to end up completely off track? In this honest and personal episode of The Good System , I open up about how I started my self-employment journey with a clear vision… and still managed to miss the mark. Through storytelling, humor, and a metaphor involving an SUV (don’t worry, no real injuries), I explore how easy it is to lose sight of your purpose—especially when you're focused on productivity, efficiency, and just “getting content out there.” In this episode, we talk about: Why failing at goals is more common than you think The difference between planning and actually doing Signs you're off track—and how to notice them sooner The hidden cost of chasing efficiency over meaning Realigning your work with your deeper goals (and your life) Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to build a better system for yourself, this episode is a reminder that it’s okay to mess up—and that it’s never too late to course-correct. ️Read the blog post to this episode: How to Fail at Goal Setting (and Still Win in the End) Join the newsletter for monthly reflections: Ian's Monthly Review Listen to more episodes of The Good System on your favorite podcast platform.

In this podcast episode, we answer the question: What is The Good System. The Good System is a system of systems. It combines economic, political, and social systems. In The Good System, these parts work together and not against each other.

The Good System Podcast
The podcast episode compares the sustainability of city and country living, with a focus on infrastructure, transportation, land usage, and social aspects. While the countryside offers more space and a slower pace, cities are more sustainable due to better infrastructure, energy efficiency, and social services. Suburbs are criticized for combining the worst of both worlds, lacking essential amenities and contributing to urban sprawl. Ian DeBay compares city and suburban living, arguing that cities are more sustainable due to their density and potential for reduced car usage. To reduce emissions, Ian DeBay suggests implementing renewable energy sources, energy-efficient buildings, and limiting car use in both cities and the countryside. We envision a future with only cities, towns, and villages, connected by high-speed trains and accessible by foot, bike, or public transportation.

Cars are harmful to people, the environment, and society, causing violence, illness, social injustice, and environmental damage. To reduce their negative impact, society should increase parking costs, reduce speed limits, prioritize pedestrian and cyclist spaces, and make driving less accessible. Improving public transportation, bike infrastructure, and accessible options for those in need will encourage a shift away from car-dependent mobility. We envision a world without cars, where cities are designed for people, not vehicles. This vision includes quieter streets, improved public transportation, and a focus on active mobility like walking and biking. While some form of vehicles will likely always exist, the goal is to prioritize people and the environment over cars.

Education is crucial for a good system, but current systems are unequal, segregating children based on social background and perpetuating cycles of poverty. Addressing this requires increased funding, teacher support, and potentially banning private schools to ensure equal opportunities for all students. Investing in education is vital for societal progress and breaking down barriers to social mobility. A better education system is crucial for a more equitable society, but it faces challenges like outdated curricula, underfunded schools, and unequal access. To address these issues, Ian DeBay proposes eliminating private schools, ensuring mandatory education, and utilizing technology to provide accessible and personalized learning. Ultimately, a comprehensive system overhaul is needed, prioritizing education as the foundation for a more just and prosperous world.
