What’s Your Base Programming? Do you focus on what you do right or what you do wrong?

In this introspective episode, Craig and Ben explore the concept of shifting perspectives and moving beyond the default habit of focusing on mistakes.

They share personal stories about how ingrained beliefs, self-criticism, and unhelpful narratives have shaped their lives, and discuss the power of rewriting those scripts.

Through humor and vulnerability, they explore the importance of recognizing successes, celebrating wins, and finding balance between self-improvement and self-acceptance.
