In this episode, Mike slows everything down and talks about what it means to actually show up in the moment you’re living.
It starts with a hand-painted mirror he found in Palm Springs. Three simple lines hit him harder than expected:
Look back.
Look ahead.
Live now.
From there, he walks through the pull of the past, the pressure of the future, and the work it takes to stay grounded in the present. He talks about leadership, connection, the art show conversations, the tension of moving too fast, and the practice of slowing down long enough to bring people with you.
You’ll hear real stories.
You’ll hear lessons from the week.
You’ll hear practical steps you can try today to feel more human and more present in your own life.
Mira opens the episode with a light, honest check-in.
Mike wraps with a quiet reminder that your life happens in the moment you’re actually standing in.
