Part 1 of 2: Why Meaning Comes Before Courage | Dr. Benjamin Hardy | 10X Yourself
.
What if the reason you're afraid to step into your future self has nothing to do with confidence, and everything to do with meaning?
DescriptionIn this deeply unexpected and profoundly honest conversation, Dov Baron sits down with Dr. Benjamin Hardy for a dialogue that goes far beyond performance psychology and into the foundations of courage, faith, and identity.
.
For the first time publicly, Dr. Hardy shares his personal origin story, including his beliefs about God, purpose, and why he sees life itself as an educational journey rather than a test to pass or fail. What unfolds is not a debate about religion, but a powerful exploration of how meaning shapes courage, entrepreneurship, and the willingness to let go of who you used to be.
.
Together, Dov and Ben examine why so many high performers feel deflated even after achieving everything they were told would make them happy, and why clinging to a past identity quietly poisons the future you're trying to build.
.
This episode challenges the glossy image of entrepreneurship, confronts ego-driven success, and reframes leadership as an act of service rooted in dignity, not status.
.
If you've ever felt torn between who you've been and who you sense you're meant to become, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.
