#86 Choose Your Suffering Before It Chooses You |Kyle Vadis & Chase Pettey
Podcast: The David Guttman PodcastPublished On: Tue Aug 04 2026
Description: I always thought the thing keeping people stuck was their circumstances, until I realized most of us are the wardens of our own prison, holding the keys the whole time. In this one, I sat down with Kyle and Chase to get honest about victim mentality, why 20 minutes a day can put you in the top 5% at anything, and the blind spots that quietly wreck successful people. If you've been waiting for something outside you to change, this is the conversation I wish I'd had at 30. Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!
