In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, I’m talking about the quiet habit of comparison and how it slowly steals our joy, peace, and self-worth. This topic came up after noticing how my teen’s mindset shifted when her environment changed. It made me realize how easily we all slip into measuring our enoughness against someone else’s life.

For the past two months, I’ve been back on the mic with solo episodes. But today marks the first conversation I’m sharing since relaunching Master Your Mind, Business, and Life,  and it only felt right to have it with my longtime mentor of nearly 20 years, Mack Munro. Mack has worn many hats: retired Navy, management consultant, entrepreneur, and “Boss Builder.” These days, he’s exploring new chapters: retirement, spirituality, writing, art, BBQ, and the courage it takes to reinvent life after success. In this raw and wide-ranging conversation, we talk about: Breaking up with formal religion and leaning into a more spiritual life Processing retirement and finding identity beyond work The power of encouragement in sparking growth and reinvention Why it’s okay — and even necessary — to let go of old labels This episode is not safe for work (there’s some cussing), and we talk openly about faith and deconstructing belief systems. If that feels tender, listen with care. But if you’re questioning, pivoting, or reinventing....this one’s for you.   🔗 Links Mentioned: Mack’s Substack (Mack's Inner Circle): mackmunro.substack.com My Substack (MindBizLife): mindbizlife.substack.com Website + Podcast Hub: mindbizlife.com ✨ Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss next week’s episode.
