#71 Why You Don't Have to Chase Your Goals Alone

Going after a big goal by yourself feels noble, but it's often the slower, harder, lonelier path. In this episode of the Wholistic Productivity Podcast, Chris LeBrun shares how building the Wholistic Productivity brand with business partners changed the trajectory of the work, and why shared understanding is something you simply cannot manufacture on your own.

Then, Chris turns to a distinction that changes how you think about fear: the difference between reservations and cowardice. Drawing on Ryan Holiday's Lives of the Stoics and a story about Marcus Aurelius, this episode asks the question every person chasing a big goal eventually has to answer — is your hesitation helping you move carefully, or is it just an excuse to not move at all?
