nah this was a great pod frfr. took us a minute to get to the main topic but we got there !!!  

https://www.ethicssage.com/2018/04/do-the-ends-justify-the-means.html 

"The reason the means are important, maybe more important than the ends, is how we get to our goal is just as important as getting there. In other words, destiny tells us what we are to the world, but journey tells who we are; it’s the journey that unlocks our potential and establishes who we are as a person and what motivates us towards action."Check out the official website !!! https://www.embracethewaveglobal.com/
