Just days after Uptin sold his agency, Uptin and Gary talk honestly about focus vs juggling, personal brand vs client work, and how to know when you’ve made the right move, even when there’s no “right” answer.

They get into:

• Why shiny object syndrome is actually part of the entrepreneur’s gift

• The truth behind “hustle culture” and why Gary stopped using the word

• How algorithms really work — and how to take back control of your attention

• Why managing yourself is one of the hardest skills after leaving a job

• Live streaming, live shopping, and what’s actually next for creators

• Confidence, accountability, modern parenting, and why negativity feels louder than kindness

• AI, IP, and why every creator may soon be in the character business
