Role models for personal growth are already around you. The problem isn't finding them — it's that you keep dismissing them, and that's costing you more than you think.

In this solo episode, Jeff Luther gets real about a pattern most of us never admit: every time we find a flaw in someone ahead of us, we use that flaw to justify standing still. No change. No growth. Just the same version of ourselves, wearing a really convincing story.

Jeff breaks down why criticizing role models is a defense mechanism — and how what annoys you about someone like Goggins, Gary Vee, or Mark Cuban might be the exact thing you're avoiding in your own life. He calls it projection. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.
