How To: Burn Your Boat
There comes a moment when retreat is no longer an option. This episode is about that moment.
Inspired by the legendary story of Hernán Cortés, Hans breaks down what it really means to burn the boats, to remove the safety nets, the excuses, and the backup plans. This is a raw conversation about commitment, pressure, ownership, and what happens when your only option is forward.
If you are stuck between comfort and growth, this episode will challenge you to make the decision that changes everything. No fallback. No waiting. No retreat.
Only forward.
