   308: Hiding in the Prep Work: When Preparation Becomes Avoidance

   Preparation is usually praised as discipline, but sometimes, it’s the safest place to hide. In this episode, we explore how high performers use prep work, planning, and self-improvement to delay the very thing that would move their life forward: exposure.

And so today, this concept I want to talk about is this idea of slowness, the philosophy of slow. […]
