Drawing from his own experience on Wall Street, Craig shares how external success can still leave you feeling exhausted and disconnected when you're maintaining an identity instead of building a life that feels aligned. He explores why growth requires us to create space between stimulus and reaction, let old identities die, and become the person our goals actually require.
