Why Discomfort Is the Price of a Better Life | Dan Clouser | SC
Dan Clouser spent 30 years building a life he genuinely loved — a successful career, a home, a community, and an identity rooted in purpose. Then he walked away from it all.
In this episode, Dan explains why fear of discomfort keeps most people trapped, how letting go of stability challenges everything we think we need, and why starting again isn’t failure — it’s freedom. We talk about identity loss, fear of judgment, financial uncertainty, shame, overthinking, and the hidden psychological battles that come with choosing change.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between the life you built and the life you want, this conversation will hit home.
