We've all heard the advice to follow our dreams. In this raw and honest episode, Kevin and Alan pull back the curtain on what it really takes to turn passion into profit. They share the gritty truth behind the glamorized “follow your passion” advice and why data, not just desire, is the driver of long-term success. From spreadsheets to sacrifices, they reflect on how easily people forget the messy middle once they “make it.” Whether you’re starting a business, building a career, or stuck wondering if passion is enough, this episode will challenge what you thought success looked like.
