Louis Marchetti, a longtime investor and business advisor, lived life in the fast lane until a near-death experience from a sudden cardiac arrest jolted him to reassess his priorities. It's a common misconception among high achievers that a jam-packed schedule equates to success; any downtime implies lost momentum. Too frequently, we “look, but don’t see” - rushing from moment to moment in life so fast that we forget why we are working so hard to begin with.On today’s episode, Stephanie and Louis debunk this myth and explore the power of taking a pause. Mentions:Books: Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes by William Bridges The Burnout Society by Byung-Chul Han Think Again by Adam Grant Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown Podcasts: Brené Brown's interview with Father Richard Rohr Joe Rogan’s interview with Gabor Maté Events: Summit Series conference Esalen workshops in Big Sur, CA Burning Man festival Other: Mont Blanc in France Vista Equity Partners private equity firm Opus Dei Catholic institution Wim Hof breathing method Thomas Merton (Author) Ascension Leadership Academy training Email us -> info@mission.orgWork with us -> https://www.missionsponsors.com/Follow Stephanie -> https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniepostles/

Property investor Albert explains how homeowners insurance works, when it doesn’t work at all, and why the entire model can feel like a scam after disaster strikes.Key Points: You’re on the hook for upfront disaster mitigation and repairs. Insurance only reimburses later, often not in full. With labor shortages, replacement costs far exceed insurance company estimates. They lowball based on pre-disaster rates. Constant climate disasters mean constant claim denials. Albert asks - is insurance even worthwhile when it fails to protect you? For homeowners insurance beginners, the model seems primed to collapse. Albert argues it needs an overhaul to actually cover people. What are your thoughts? Let us know by emailing info@mission.org.

Steph and Albert have an insightful discussion on embracing your true leadership style. They explore the importance of transparency, vulnerability, and staying true to yourself.Key Points: Being real about struggles helps connect with others. Vulnerability can build trust. Confidence is crucial when starting out. But balance with integrity. There's power in small, lean operations. Success looks different for everyone. Listen to your intuition. You already know the right path if you tune out the noise. Surround yourself with people who appreciate the real you. Don't try to be someone you're not. What are your thoughts?

Welcome to our first NSFW Mission Daily episode, featuring awkward group massages, honest discussions about temptation, and our attempt at relationship advice. As Steph continues to recount her more… experimental… experiences at Burning Man, she and Albert go down a rabbit hole about what you can learn from removing (or adding) boundaries in relationships.Steph shares the benefits of letting your spouse run free, and why setting “bumper pads” to prevent them from failing may actually cause more anxiety and result in deteriorating trust. Albert gives a different take - he believes that if you know what tempts you, then it’s not helpful to be put in those situations.The duo go back and forth in their signature banter-filled style, raising great points on either side.Where do you land on the debate?
