EP. 32 - The Stories We Never Question
When was the last time you asked "why"?
Children question everything, but as adults, we tend to blindly defend the status quo. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stop interrogating our lives and start accepting the default roadmap: the forty-plus hour work week, the bigger mortgage, and the exhausting pursuit of "more."
In this episode, Evan Sutter explores the inherited beliefs that silently dictate our lives. Pulling from formative chapters in his own journey—from the quiet structure of a Buddhist monastery in France and the abundant, unhurried mornings of Cuba, to the high-stakes hustle of the startup world and a grueling 470-kilometer paddle down the Hunter River—Evan challenges us to stop running on autopilot.
This isn't an attack on ambition, businesses, or mortgages; it’s a radical call to hold your beliefs up to the light. There is a profound difference between consciously building a life that reflects your deepest values and accidentally living out someone else’s script. It’s time to rediscover your curiosity and start asking the right questions.
