"These are all inflections points in your life. Can you look back and figure out why you thought the way you did? Then compare it to how you think now?" - Todd Myrick

In this episode, we are joined by Todd Myrick. Todd was on the show previously, and we covered the first half of his life in a much-abbreviated fashion. In this episode, we are unpacking the last twenty years of growth Todd has had since he turned thirty. The lens at which we use to plot the course of this growth is through a discussion of the film Fight Club. Fight Club was initially released on October 15, 1999, and is based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk. This conversation took place shortly after the twentieth anniversary of the film that is now a cult classic.

For the majority of the conversation, we stay close to major plot points. We expand on the events and quotes as they pertain to our personal lives and broader conversation about what it says about our society. In many ways, Fight Club can resonate with our current landscape even more than it did when it was released. What I mean here is, as we go through the system, we are all told, "You're going to do great things, follow your dreams." But then we hit thirty and have been doing what the system tells us. Then when you stop look around by external measure, you've it figured out, but inside you feel empty. This conversation is our attempt to unpack this story and flip the script.
