Episode notes

i sometimes feel like the little brother who doesn't do anything, while my big brother's the valdictorian. And i love james clear, and he's such a great guy, and the book is fantastic. When really all that matters is how you are doing compared to where you were at this time a year ago, or two years ago, or five or ten years ago. Don't compare your beginning to somebody else's middle. You know, it was the question i struggled with when i was a financial planner, how am i doing verses everybody else?
