Chad shares his Carousel Rings philosophy—intentionally creating meaningful experiences each year instead of waiting for the perfect time that rarely comes. Backed by behavioral science and real-world insight, this conversation will shift how you think about time, goals, and what it really means to live fully.

Stop delaying life. Start creating it—one year at a time.
