Why? Because for years, he’s believed that some goals (like getting fit) are simply out of reach.Jesse and Andrew unpack the emotional baggage behind self-improvement: the inner voices, the identity stakes, and why some efforts feel so personal—and so loaded—that failure cuts deeper than we expect.They explore how redefining the meaning of action can shift your relationship with goals, and why “not enjoying the gym” isn’t actually the issue—it’s the story you attach to it.The conversation expands into AI creativity (yes, Jesse makes a rap about being a dad), the future of privacy and memory in AI tools like Suno and ChatGPT, and what it really means to use AI as a creative partner vs. just a tool.
