In this episode, Joe and Erich reflect on 2022 and their direction in 2023. For a portion of this conversation, we take a step back to go over how the previous few years felt stagnant to lay the groundwork for the reemergence that started in late 2022. Around the middle of 2022, starting live streams with Joe since he moved to Nashville began to shift momentum. Erich continues to push himself psychically with runs and rides, which has led to a commitment to run in the Chicago Marathon in 2023. One big driving factor was the book The Comfort Crisis. The book's core is to get yourself more comfortable with the uncomfortable. From there, we see what Joe explores with his master's and Ph.D. We must zoom out and look at human culture, be critical, and ask what is working. Joe believes that each of us should aspire to aim for something greater. Meaning the goal should be aspirational. The likelihood you will accomplish the goal is small, but in setting the bar, you may embody the goal you set for yourself.

Erich's Marathon Sponsor is Our Lady of Angels. https://secure.qgiv.com/event/teamola2023/account/1402109

Team Our Lady of the Angels will be running in the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon to support the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels!
