They are stuck because their brain is still running on old programming. They say things like “I’m just not good with money,” “people like me don’t do that,” “I started too late,” or “that just doesn’t happen in my family.” But many of those limits were inherited. They came from your environment, your upbringing, your pain, or the people around you.Rich and Justin talk about growing up with financial insecurity, father wounds, old survival instincts, feeling like an underdog, and the hard process of rebuilding your identity through action. They explain why action creates evidence, evidence creates belief, and belief creates a new version of you.This episode is for the man who keeps blaming his past, hiding behind old excuses, or waiting for permission to become someone different.Your past was real.But your future still belongs to you.Failures Podcast  2026 We're not gods.
