You've handled the career, the business, the money. So why does your marriage feel like the one problem you can't crack?

Adam and Aston Simmonds dig into something most successful people don't want to hear: the habits that got you here are the same ones pushing your partner away. If your life looks great from the outside and still feels hollow at home, listen to this one.

In this episode:

  • High standards, fix-it mode, efficiency. Brilliant at work. Quietly corrosive in a marriage
  • There's a "science of achievement" and an "art of fulfilment." Nailing the first one teaches you nothing about the second
  • "Dirty fuel" is fear, proving yourself, the dread of sliding backwards. It keeps you producing and it keeps you disconnected. Adam and Aston explain how to run on clean fuel instead
  • Put the marriage first and the rest tends to fall into place. They walk through how that reorder actually works
