My life-changing annual event, The Summit of Greatness, is happening September 12 & 13, 2025. Get your ticket today!I'm calling out the seven pieces of popular life advice that are secretly keeping you stuck and miserable. After sitting across from some of the world's most successful people for over 12 years, I've learned that the motivational quotes everyone shares on social media often lead us further from the life we actually want. From "follow your passion" to "success equals happiness," I'm breaking down why these seemingly inspiring messages can derail your dreams and what actually works instead.
