Why Most Disappointment comes from Missed Expectations

from The Andy Storch Show (Own Your Career Own Your Life)

It’s Thursday, April 9, 2026. Today’s episode was sparked by my morning reading of The Daily Stoic and The Daily Dad. I’ve come to realize that one of the single biggest drivers of unhappiness isn't "bad luck"—it's missed expectations. Specifically, the ones we never actually bothered to say out loud. I’m sharing how shifting from "assumed" to "explicit" communication saved my marriage from unnecessary arguments and why I stopped "keeping score" in my friendships years ago.I hope you enjoy it! As always you can learn more and connect with me on my website (andystorch.com) or LinkedIn. And you can find my books - Own Your Career Own Your Life and Own Your Brand, Own Your Career - on Amazon.
