We sit down with NYU professor and NYT Bestselling author, Dr. Suzy Welch, whose new book “Becoming You” redefines what authenticity and ambition truly mean. This episode is for anyone who’s built the “perfect” life on paper yet still feels out of sync – and wants a clear framework for working, loving, and leading with purpose and integrity.

We share:

✅ How Suzy’s test helps align who you are with how you live

✅ How to recognize when you’re living a B+ life

✅ The “Four Horsemen of Dream Destruction” – and how to stop them from running your life

✅ The myth of work-life balance

✅ Two money principles that will save you decades of regret
