Why does getting older make us more afraid that we will never reach our potential? In his first ETDTY solo episode, Josh Zolin examines four forces behind that pressure: legacy, proof, joy, and impact.

This is a personal examination of achievement, self-worth, alignment, and the difference between being remembered and making an impact.
