(0705 #4) You're Not Behind—You're Exactly Where You Need to Be

This week on Let’s Get Real, Michael (aka Shark) and Spanish dive into a truth that’s hitting deep: You’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be.

Inspired by Shaolin monk wisdom and a powerful quote that literally stopped Michael mid-dog-walk, this episode explores what happens when we finally let go of the toxic belief that we’ve “missed our moment.” From mindset shifts to a Harvard study that literally reversed aging, this is your reminder that your prime hasn’t passed—it’s just beginning.

And then… a caller named Brandon jumps in at the perfect moment with his own awakening. The timing? Almost too perfect to ignore. This is the kind of raw, real talk that makes you feel seen, heard, and reconnected to something bigger.

🔹 If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it too late for me?”
🔹 If you’ve doubted your purpose or feared you’ve missed your shot…
🔹 Or if you just need a spark of hope today…

This one’s for you.
