INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Two years after his first visit, Justin Jones-Fosu is back, and this time he's rewritten a story we all thought we knew. His new fable, Stop Chasing, Start Creating, reimagines the Tortoise and the Hare and asks a question most of us never stop to consider: what if the tortoise was never slow, just wise, strategic, and intentional?
In a conversation that moves from absent fathers to morning routines to a live run through the Core Emotion Wheel, Justin and the Hills dig into the quiet exhaustion of chasing worth from the outside in and what it actually takes to start creating meaning from the inside out.
In this episode:
•Why "information fatigue," not just overwork, is driving so much of our burnout
•The Tortoise and the Hare, retold: proving your worth vs. simply being your worth
•Phyllis on Identity, and 20 years of chasing her siblings' approval
•"Getting on the wrong train" why running fast doesn't help if you're headed the wrong way
•Why meaning doesn't mean happy
•The Meaningful 67 Challenge and the seven small habits behind it
•"Create before you consume" — protecting the first 10 minutes of your day.
