Description

What happens when the blueprint you’ve been chasing - cars, houses, status - no longer fits who you’ve become? In this powerful episode, John Kim shares how he traded Hollywood dreams for a meaningful life in Costa Rica, and how redefining his blueprint transformed everything.


In this conversation, you’ll hear about:



  • Why chasing cars, houses, and status leaves you empty

  • The shift from living “outside-in” to “inside-out”

  • How unconscious definitions shape love, work, and happiness

  • The moment John redefined his blueprint as a parent

  • Steps to rewrite your blueprint and live with meaning


This isn’t about rejecting success - it’s about creating new definitions that actually serve who you are today.
