The Inner Circle

Mike Brown/Kevin Dahlstrom 25 - Why Potential is a Trap For High Achievers - Inner Circle Ep 25

Kevin Dahlstrom and Mike Brown are devoted to exploring one question: what makes a truly great life? The Inner Circle is a behind-the-scenes look into the conversations that they have off-camera. Join them for raw, unfiltered thoughts about money, work, identity, purpose, relationships, and spirituality. This show is a place to think out loud. Ideas do not need to be polished. Disagreement is welcome. The only requirement is honesty and a willingness to follow the truth—wherever it leads. The value comes from two people who trust each other enough to challenge assumptions, name blind spots, and stay in the conversation when it gets uncomfortable. Each episode focuses on a single topic and runs roughly fifteen minutes. The discussion is direct and unscripted, with the occasional guest joining when it adds perspective. Inner Circle opens a window into truth-seeking and invites you to listen in. If you want a place where real questions are taken seriously and thinking is allowed to evolve in real time, this will resonate.
