Embracing Success and Letting Go of the Need to Prove

In this podcast episode, James discusses the challenges of experiencing overwhelming success and the internal pressure to continue hustling and proving himself. He reveals that despite achieving significant progress in his business and personal life, there is an unsettled feeling and the fear of losing it all. The podcast host explains that this feeling stems from the evolutionary instinct to scan for danger and constantly strive for more. They also explore the concept of proving energy and the belief that success is only achieved through continuous effort.
