ABOUT THIS EPISODE
De closes Season 2 by running his own numbers out loud — five questions, one per FRESH pillar, answered honestly on the record before he asks you a thing.
A few are in a solid place. One still gets away from him. And one is only half moving — the food is improving, the exercise isn't consistent, with a treadmill sitting right there in the room. "I've always worked hard. That's not a flex. That's a confession."
The rule: an audit that won't allow an honest failure isn't an audit.
Plus three Peeps wrote in and every one picked a different pillar — and De settles a promise he made on air in Atlanta that he didn't hit.
In this episode:
- Financial: budgeting everything, personal and business
- Relationship: a solid corner, and taking care of each other
- Emotional: where empathy gets the best of him
- Spiritual: integrity when nobody's watching
- Health: the food is better, the exercise isn't, and the treadmill is right there
- Three listener messages, three different pillars
- The Ep 7 promise of four guests by December, and the honest reset: two, in November and December
