Episode 3581:

Greg Audino redefines what it means to be responsible by blending real-life growth stages with mind-bending concepts from Robert Scheinfeld’s Busting Loose From the Money Game. By challenging conventional thinking and viewing life as a personal video game of cause and effect, Audino makes the case for radical responsibility as a path to freedom, empowerment, and deeper self-awareness.

Quotes to ponder:

"Responsibility is one of those concepts whose meaning changes drastically as life goes on."

"You see, we like responsibility within reason. It feels nice to tell ourselves we’re responsible. But transcending that is not what most people sign up for."

"Taking deliberate responsibility for things that aren’t a part of your plan gets you comfortable with the uncomfortable."
