from The True Potential Podcast · host Connor Pettersen

We made it to 10 Episodes! What a year 2025 has been! Episode 10 is all about wrapping up the year with intention instead of intensity. In this episode, Dalton and Connor reflect on the year that was, what we accomplished and what mattered most. Our biggest realization was how important it is not measure accomplishment by just outcomes but on the entire journey and appreciate everything gained within that.The boys have a lot of fun in this episode testing out a few new pod segments (including what’s the last thing you asked ChatGPT), they spiral into a surprisingly deep rom-com discussion, and then zoom out to the bigger stuff like why values are essential for happiness, how they can act as a framework for decision-making, and how the words you use to narrate your life shape your reality.They also break down friction vs. conflict, why not every hard moment is “suffering,” and how reframing tough situations can change everything. As always, there’s plenty of laughter, jokes, and honest reflection along the way.This one’s thoughtful, light, grounding, and a perfect listen as you close out the year and look ahead to 2026 with clarity.Enjoy!#growth #2025 #goals
