It's very, very common.

Because if that's your God—and baseball was my God.

When I say God, the thing that you love most and fear most of losing—

You're only as stable as whatever you're worshiping.

Like David Foster Wallace told us, everyone has a God.

There's no atheist.

Everyone worships something.

There's something at the top of your heart, and that's your God.

And for me, it was being the superstar, and I lost it and lost everything.

And so I was as stable as it was.

And so in other words, when I didn't have a good season, I didn't want people to tell others that I was a pro baseball player because I was unstable.

And so InterX is to say, hey, let's go for what's most empowering to fuel your life and specifically the control center of your life, your heart.

What I've seen with people that are very talented like yourself is that exactly what you said is just next, next, next.

Like, let's get another goal.

Let's achieve something else.

It's really like productivity is really, really important because achievement is the whole, the end goal.

It's a dangerous trap.

The more talent you have, the more likely that you can get in this trap.

And the trap is I set a goal, I work at it, I get a result.

And then I process that result in my mind.
