  • The Unfair Advantage: How Winners Really Win | Ep. 5
    Oct 21 2025

    Everything you’ve been told about success is a half-truth. The “grind harder” gospel sells, but it doesn’t work. Real success isn’t about hustling longer, it’s about stacking the deck in your favor.

    In this episode of The Bold Path: DECODED, we go to war with the myth of meritocracy and uncover The Unfair Advantage, the hidden factors that make the game of life and business unfair in your favor. Using the M.I.L.E.S. framework (Money, Intelligence, Location, Education, Status), you’ll learn how to identify and leverage the unique combination of strengths that only you possess.

    Stop running someone else’s race. Start architecting a game built around your own edge.


    Listen if you’re tired of:

    – Hustling without progress

    – Comparing yourself to others

    – Playing by someone else’s rules


    Listen if you’re ready to:

    – Decode your personal edge

    – Build around your strengths

    – Play an unfair game—and win.

    Oct 7 2025

    What if your greatest fear wasn’t a weakness, but your sharpest weapon? In this episode of The Bold Path: Decoded, we walk with death, not to glorify it, but to use it as a strategy for fearless living.

    From the Stoic practice of memento mori to Viktor Frankl’s survival in Auschwitz, from Steve Jobs’ daily mirror test to the psychology of Terror Management Theory, we uncover how facing mortality head-on can strip away fear, sharpen clarity, and fuel bold action.


    You’ll learn:

    - Why remembering death is the fastest way to cut through fear and procrastination

    - Stoic exercises to reframe risk and build courage

    - Existential insights from Frankl, Becker, and modern psychology

    - How to turn fear into fuel and live antifragile


    This isn’t about morbidity. It’s about freedom. The clarity that comes when nothing trivial matters anymore. The strategy of walking with death to live without regret.


    If you’ve ever feared failure, rejection, or regret, this episode will give you a new lens to see fear as strategy, not an obstacle.
