Why Your New Years Resolutions Are Stupid. (Sorry, not sorry)
About this episode
đď¸ "Why can't I just chill, dude?"Â
Thatâs the vibe in this segment of the January 4th Letâs Get Real live radio show! Michael and Spanish kick off 2025 with a deep dive into the tension between "having a plan" and "going with the flow." Is it all just man-made garbage, or is there something valuable in setting goals? Spoiler: Itâs both. Â
From hilarious New Yearâs resolutions (eating less candy, anyone?) to questioning societyâs obsession with three-year plans, weâre tackling it all with humor and heart. Michael opens up about his own struggles with "having it all figured out" and wrestles with whether letting go is the ultimate plan. Meanwhile, Spanish is here to remind us that no matter how much it feels like everyone else has their life together, theyâre probably projecting too. Â
Plus, we venture into the world of plant medicine, spiritual awakenings, and even the undeniable truth that time isnât real (It's just a Tuesday to a Wednesday). If youâve ever felt torn between being Indiana Jonesâliving for the adventureâand a Charles Schwab commercial telling you to get your act together, this episode is for you. Â
Hit play and join us for a raw, real, and relatable conversation about life, goals, and why itâs OK to *not* have it all figured out.Â
