Here’s What Actually Matters
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I talk about the tension every serious person eventually faces: how to hold high standards without becoming judgmental, harsh, or hypocritical.
We all know that high standards matter. They shape quality, integrity, and growth. But when standards aren’t anchored in humility, they start to break relationships — at home, at work, and within ourselves.
I walk through the difference between aiming at perfection and falling into perfectionism, why humility is the only thing that allows us to re-aim when we fall short, and how judgment without humility turns into defensiveness and resentment.
This conversation is about personal growth in its deepest sense — becoming better through the ordinary things we do every day — and why humility is the key that makes high standards sustainable rather than destructive.
If you care about growth, leadership, faith, and living with integrity in real life, this episode will give you a clearer framework for how those pieces actually fit together.
