In this week's episode of With Amanda Keltz, I sit down with my friend Diego, who shares his unique perspective on life as if it were a video game—one where you get to create your own reality. From picking up surfing at 30 to breaking away from the usual 9-to-5 grind and starting to write a book in his late 30s, Diego talks about embracing challenges and finding excitement in the unexpected. We dive into how going after your dreams can look different at any age and that sometimes, the best path is the one you create for yourself—even if it’s a bit unconventional.

22:30 — Waking up to the mindset of what I could be doing vs. what I should be doing, navigating the hardships and freedom of that change

25:25 — The mindset of a seeker, reframing "searching for" to owning the uniqueness of our needs and desires as individuals
