The Problem Isn’t Out There

The Problem Isn’t Out There

We spend much of our lives trying to rearrange our external circumstances so we can feel better internally. But what if we've got it backwards? In this episode, Greg explores the relationship between the outer world and the inner world, the difference between spirituality and religion, and why lasting growth can only happen from the inside out. Drawing from his experience facilitating more than 100 peer group meetings, Greg shares a powerful story of a business owner who recognized that changing jobs wouldn't solve his problem because the real challenge wasn't external—it was internal. This conversation is a reminder that while circumstances may present our problems, growth happens when we look inward. The question isn't how to change the world around us. The question is what the situation is trying to teach us about ourselves. Because in the end, it's all inside.

This is direct challenge to the stories people tell themselves to avoid growth. Greg explores the idea that most decisions are ultimately driven by either love or fear and that fear often disguises itself as logic, careful reasoning, or practicality.

I am PISSED!

In this short, Greg opens with a blunt admission: “I’m pissed… at myself.” Why? Because he’s avoiding something he knows he needs to do—writing. Despite being a confident speaker, writing doesn’t come naturally to him. And instead of leaning into the discomfort, he’s been resisting it. This episode is a raw look at what happens when we avoid the very thing that could grow us.
