What if everything you've been taught about success is actually holding you back from what you were created to do?

In this game-changing episode, we dive deep into why Einstein believed we've been measuring human potential all wrong—and how this massive misconception might be the very thing keeping you from discovering your true calling.

Here's what you'll learn:

1. Why traditional markers of success (SAT scores, job titles, net worth) are often misleading indicators of your true potential

2. The profound truth about why some people make everything look effortless (while others struggle endlessly)

3. How one Olympic athlete's controversial decision reveals the secret to finding your purpose

4. The surprising reason why your "weaknesses" might actually be pointing to your calling

5. Why the baker's story from George Mueller's orphanage changes everything about how we view purpose

6. The critical difference between chasing money and chasing your calling (and why it matters)

7. How to identify what you were actually created to do (including 3 powerful questions you can ask yourself today)

Key Questions to Discover Your Calling:

1. What comes easier to you than most?

2. What feels like work to others but feels like fun to you?

3. What are you wondering why most people aren't good at?
