Time doesn’t guarantee results—but it does reveal character. In this episode, we reflect on the symbolic and emotional dynamics of waiting: when our efforts don’t produce immediate outcomes, how do we respond?
Drawing on the 24-inch gauge, we explore the space between patience and procrastination, and how understanding the probabilistic nature of reality changes the way we labor. It’s not just about managing time—it’s about aligning with it.
