In this episode, Chris and Albert discuss the importance of living like you're dying. Far too many people go through life believing that they actually have something to lose. This holds them back from being their true selves. 

This week, Chris and Albert continue to address the question of understanding when we need to make a change. Albert delivers his insights on the major question that everyone should be asking themselves before they undertake anything.   

Contrary to popular belief, there's times in our lives when we should quit. There's also times when we should push through. There's also a time when you can restart something you haven't finished.  In this episode, Chris takes you through the logic he's used through his life in determining these situations. Big thank you to the listener who emailed this question!

Chris Albert Palmitessa and Albert Carrasco discuss measures they've taken to deal with past trauma, raise their self confidence, and present their authentic selves to those around them.

We hear a lot about hard work, and it's importance. I've got no argument with that at all. Hard work is the basis of success. But working hard toward the wrong thing can be worse than doing nothing.
