    Why High Achievers Check Out Early
    Aug 29 2024
    In this episode, Dan reveals that he filled 60 notebooks only for them to be washed away in a flood. He could have mourned this, but instead chose to see it as closure to a past era. Mike shares a similar experience where he threw away every box he had after his divorce. These are life changing moments, where one radical act of letting go, either by nature or by choice, transformed both Dan’s life and Mike’s life. Dan discusses how high achievers struggle with overcoming what seem like small obstacles to many because their attachment to a vision isn’t linked to a measurable, realistic goal. Their vision in general, be it perfection or manufactured by someone else, may not even be “real.” And this can be tragic, and in some cases, fatal.
