Ever recorded a full show with the mic unplugged? We did—and it turned into the perfect doorway to a deeper conversation about time, ego, and trust. We open with a vivid image of life racing by like the shadow of a fly and ask a hard question: if time is that quick, what are we waiting for?

From there, we dig into the core barrier that keeps many of us stuck: ego. Not confidence, but the reflex to centre ourselves in every outcome. We trace this through the story of Joseph—his early bravado, the pit, the prison, and the rise to power—showing how trials cut away illusion and reveal a leader who can forgive, plan, and serve without revenge. That pivot from me to meaning is the hinge that turns pain into purpose and power into stewardship.

We also take aim at the modern myth of total control. Culture says grind harder and outcomes will comply; reality keeps saying otherwise. When that illusion cracks, people call it a midlife crisis. We call it a reality check: you govern your actions, not the cosmos. The practical antidotes show up in simple moves—define the problem before solving it, ask the question you’re afraid to ask, set plans and release outcomes, and build rituals that restore perspective. Moses becomes our model for humble strength: decisive, curious, and willing to ask for help. Close to sundown, we point to Shabbat as a weekly reset where meaning outruns momentum and trust quiets the noise.
