<p><br></p><p>Episode one</p><p>Insight on Success: Beyond the Finish Line</p><p><br></p><p>Success is one of the most misunderstood pursuits in life. We chase it endlessly—through titles, money, recognition—believing that reaching a certain point will make us feel complete. But true success isn’t a single moment or milestone. It’s a way of being, a quiet alignment between your actions and your purpose.</p><p><br></p><p>At its core, success is deeply personal. For one person, it may be building a thriving business. For another, it could be finding peace after years of inner turmoil. Some see success in applause and spotlight, while others find it in the ability to live authentically without needing to explain themselves. That’s the first insight: *success is self-defined*. If you let the world define it for you, you’ll forever chase something that may never satisfy you.</p><p><br></p><p>We often equate success with being the best—at our job, in our craft, among our peers. But real success doesn’t require you to be better than anyone else. It requires you to be *better than you were yesterday*. Growth, not comparison, is the true measure. Competing with others may get you noticed, but evolving your own character is what builds lasting fulfillment.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
