Finding Balance, Building a Legacy, and Overcoming Fear | Carla | Campfire Convos S3E10

Do you follow your dreams for yourself, or to help others? Carla returns to the fire to help me break down the "myth" of balance and the terrifying reality of building a legacy that outlives you.

[In this video]: Grab a seat for the Season 3 finale with a Campfire Convos veteran. We dive into the "Big Magic" of ideas, why I’m choosing a group win over personal streaming success, and the psychological trick I learned in the batter's box to turn fear into excitement. We also get into the "bunny murder" facilitated by Milo, the message we’re leaving for our 45-year-old selves, and why this year feels like the official rebirth of the Meanderin’ Mitch brand.
