Are you really providing for your family, or just chasing someone else’s idea of success?

In this snapshot, Carl challenges the hustle culture and the myths around success. He dives deep into the real meaning of provision, and it's not about the latest car or a million-dollar business.

You have to ask yourself the tough questions: Is your business truly providing, or are you lying to yourself about what your family needs? What if providing meant less hustle and more time spent with your family? Are you willing to make sacrifices that matter, or just the ones that look good on paper?

Tune in to rethink what it really takes to care for those you love!
