Michael Phelps is considered by many to be the greatest athlete of all time. Yet, he has been open about his struggles with happiness and mental health. Join us as we discuss how achievements, winning, and accomplishing goals cannot provide sustainable and ever-lasting joy. Checking items off a list is great, but it's not enough.

Dan and Ellie dive into the value of going outside your comfort zone to create opportunities and build meaningful relationships.
