Hey, Friends and Family.
Even in the months of the podcast season when things are slow, we have content for you. Our team thought it was a great idea to start reviewing previous (but timely) episodes of our show during the times that Mista Yu is away from the microphone.

From time traps on social media to the comfort of “temporary” seasons that become permanent addresses, we explore how drift steals years and how purpose restores direction. We share a practical distinction between wants and needs that helps you make stronger choices under pressure, including a candid story about buying a car with a plan instead of letting urgency dictate the terms. You’ll hear why consistency isn’t the problem—misplaced consistency is—and how to redirect it into writing, building, and creating work that lasts.
We also reflect on timeless wisdom about time, treasure, and urgency, offering a grounded perspective whether you anchor
