Description

Success feels amazing… until it starts slowing you down.


In this episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois explore the paradox of success — how comfort, routine, and “doing well” can quietly kill curiosity, creativity, and long-term growth.


From Vanilla Ice to The Matrix, from business stories to brain science, they unpack why the very thing that made you successful can also hold you back.


You’ll hear why the brain prefers safety over exploration, how success creates a “comfort trap,” and why curiosity — not achievement — is the real engine of momentum. The boys share personal stories, practical tools, and one powerful reminder:


Success is not a finish line — it’s a temptation. Curiosity is the antidote.


Tune in to learn how to stay hungry, keep taking risks, and keep the buzz alive… even when things are going great.


Because growth doesn’t stop when you win — it stops when you get comfortable.
