Episode 17: This was meant to be about New Year’s resolutions w/ Dexter Eugenio & Shane Dirckze

Time feels different as you get older—and in this episode, Dexter Eugenio and Shane Dirckze unpack why that might be. What begins as a casual reflection on time accelerating with age quickly opens into a wide-ranging conversation about creativity, boredom, technology, business ideas, and how society adapts (or resists) change. From childhood ingenuity and making fun out of nothing, to modern convenience culture, subscriptions, AI, and “owning vs accessing” everything—from cars to coaching—this episode explores how our thinking evolves alongside the world around us. Dexter and Shane dive into unconventional business models, absurd-sounding ideas that turned into billion-dollar industries, and why some people spot opportunity where others only see nonsense. The discussion naturally flows into AI, coaching, accountability, and whether technology can truly replace human connection—or simply change how we access guidance and growth. This episode is curious, honest, and philosophical, touching on creativity, progress, resistance to change, and the tension between innovation and tradition. A thoughtful listen for anyone questioning how we spend our time, what we value, and how the future of work, coaching, and human connection might unfold.

Would that clarity set you free… or destroy everything you’ve built your life around?

This episode is part philosophy, part psychology, and part personal reflection. It invites you to look at your own beliefs, your worldview, and what you would choose: truth, or peace?
