#90. The Reflective Episode—The Freedom of Choicelessness, Joy of Learning & Compass Question(s)

Published: Jan. 10, 2022, 10 a.m.

Welcome back to another episode of Discover More.

"During the last 12 months of actively moving through different exercises and talking to different folks, I've come to realize that discovering purpose or finding purpose is inherently flawed. Because it ultimately is cultivated. It's ultimately uncovered. Only by taking that first step purposefully, are we able to actually move forward. All we can do is take that first step of what feels like a purpose-driven step in the moment." - Aidan Weinmann

If there’s one thing we learned in 2021, it’s that uncertainty is the only certainty.

Change is the only constant.

Ultimately, it is how we navigate both change & uncertainty that determines the way we feel about our life experience.

In this week’s episode, hosts Aidan & Benoit reflect and share their biggest challenges, wins, and lessons learned from the past year.

Aidan shares about his concept of a “Compass Question”— which transformed the way he sets goals and led him to running his first marathon this year.

Benoit speaks to his first semester in graduate school at USC, and how shifting his focus from GPA towards learning allowed him to unexpectedly achieve a perfect 4.0 GPA.

This episode is packed with mindsets, reframing, and emotional toolkits that we hope serve you in some way this upcoming year.

We hope you join us and enjoy this episode of Discover More.

And here’s to an extraordinary 2022.
