On today’s episode, Bear and Tony share some insight on what it means to “Burn the Boats.”  What’s holding you back from going all-in on an endeavor, a dream, an ambition, a pursuit or even a relationship? Sometimes, we have to burn the boats on the things standing in the way of being the people we want to be.  Burning the boats can signify a mindset of total dedication and determination to achieve a goal, with no fallback options or safety nets. It's about fully investing in a pursuit and not allowing oneself to be distracted or discouraged by setbacks or difficulties.
