Episode 9: Top 2%: Purpose, Discipline & Not Watering Yourself Down
Feeling “unhinged” and a little existential, Amanda and Ashton dive into what it really means to be in the top 2%—the few who think for themselves, choose a definite purpose, and refuse to drift. Pulling from Napoleon Hill’s classics, they unpack mindset tools like autosuggestion, visualization, and radical personal responsibility, while also exploring the healthy tension between ambition and self-kindness. From seatbelts and life insurance to fundraising and parenting, this one’s real, relatable, and a little spicy—ending with a poem that reminds you not to make yourself “more digestible” for anyone.
