Sometimes what feels like overwhelm from a project, a person, or a technical glitch is really something deeper: the tension between where you are and where you thought you'd be by now.

In this episode, Donny Raus shares a raw and honest moment behind the scenes—struggling to build an online funnel, battling tech issues, and feeling like things should have happened already. But what started as venting about broken platforms turned into a moment of personal clarity: the frustration wasn’t about the task—it was about the timeline, the pressure, and the dream of freedom that still felt out of reach.

You’ll hear how a night of yoga, tacos, and good conversation led to powerful insights about values, commitment, and the importance of locking into your vision—even when momentum fades.

Before you write off your stress as “just a bad day,” ask yourself:
– What do I really want right now?
– Is the frustration about what’s happening—or what I expected?
– What bold action will move me closer to the life I desire?

You only get one life. Make sure you’re living your version of it.

When was the last time you truly stopped?
Not just paused for a breath—but dropped everything, tuned into your body, and asked: How am I really feeling right now?

In this episode, you’ll explore why stopping feels so hard, what resistance looks like in the moment, and how your mind fights to keep you in old patterns. Drawing wisdom from Walden by Thoreau, Donny reminds us that what we truly need is far less than we think—and joy lives on the other side of simplicity.

This is your invitation to remember what matters, and to begin designing a life rooted in presence, clarity, and peace.

Ask yourself:

• How do I really feel when I wake up each day?
• What small act could bring me joy today?
• And what would change if I just allowed myself to stop?

In this episode, we explore the invisible force that often shapes our choices without us realizing: fear. Not the kind that keeps you safe, but the kind that quietly convinces you to shrink — to stay small, delay action, or play it safe. What if fear isn’t the enemy, but your relationship to it is?

We’ll uncover how fear shows up in our lives, not as a signal to stop, but as a signpost pointing to growth. You'll hear reflections that invite you to question: Where have you bumped up against fear and stopped short? What belief did you form about yourself in that moment? And more importantly, what new possibilities could open up if you chose a different meaning?

If fear wasn’t in the way, what would you do? Who would you become?

Let this episode guide you to challenge the story you've been telling yourself. You’ll leave with clarity, questions to sit with, and a renewed sense of what’s truly possible when you stop seeing fear as a wall — and start seeing it as a door.

In this thought-provoking episode, Donny Raus unpacks a powerful conversation with a fellow entrepreneur who, despite his outward success, revealed a life quietly slipping by—long days, little freedom, and even less joy. It sparked a deeper reflection: What does success really mean if it costs you your time, energy, and aliveness?

Through personal insights and hard-earned wisdom, Donny challenges the belief that hustle is the only path to prosperity. He guides you to explore your own definition of success, clarify what you value most, and assess whether your lifestyle supports it—or contradicts it.

This episode isn’t just about breaking free from overwork or rethinking money—it’s about reclaiming your life with intention, joy, and the courage to choose differently.

Take a moment to reflect:
– What does success look like for you—not the world?
– What values are non-negotiable in your life?
– And what might you need to let go of to live in alignment?

Because you only get one life—make sure it’s one you want to live.
