In this episode, I delve into the personal and emotional costs of my ambitious pursuits. I reflect candidly on the sacrifices I have made—primarily in relationships—over the past six to seven years to achieve my career and personal goals. I discuss balancing work, personal passions, and the subsequent isolation that comes with not prioritizing significant relationships. Drawing on examples from my own life and insights inspired by Nick Bare, I urge listeners to consider the long-term ramifications of their sacrifices, to evaluate what truly matters, and to find a balance before it's too late. ---My Socials---⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
