#31: Tribal Cafe! Introducing the "Maze of Meaning" and 3 Phases of Transcendance
In this episode, Ryan and Jordan share one of the emergent ideas from their biz trip in January - the "Maze of Meaning".

Making sacrifices is heroic and inspires others. The right sacrifices set you up for transcendence.

Your sacrifices and transcendence can lift up others.

Jonathan joined the first Endurance Accelerator cohort in July, which was his first time ever joining an online community or men's group. We talk about what he was looking for when he joined, how the community helped him stay committed to his goals, how his lifestyle choices (specifically around drinking) organically improved and how he redefined what he's capable of on race day.

The conversation expands to include topics like ignorance in objective goal setting, how meaning and joy is found in subjective victories and making progress on the process and even some golf analogies at the end.
