A 14-year-old watched a beggar collecting soda cans from the garbage bins, just as a brand-new Porsche pulled up right behind his cart. Two lives from opposite parts of the city, only a few feet apart. That scene raised a question that stayed with me for decades: Is life random, or is there a system running beneath the surface? In this first episode of Season 2, we explore that question together. I share how it followed me through a successful corporate career, to a breaking point at 39, and into a journey of self-discovery. I also share what more than 8,000 clients have shown me about what the beggar and the Porsche driver have in common. Your emotional pain isn\u2019t punishment. It may carry a message.
