From World Series to Personal Purpose Part 2 with Brandon Finnegan

Stop Comparing, Start Becoming
In Part 2, we go deeper into identity, purpose, and the difference between arrival and becoming. Brandon and Rocky unpack strength, sensitivity, and the courage to choose yourself when the metrics disappear. This is a candid look at letting go of comparison and building a life you’re proud to lead—at home first.

Episode Highlights
. Define your dream after the dream ends, and why that matters now.
. Arrival is temporary, fulfillment lives in the journey you choose daily.
. Redefining strong: sensitivity, honesty, and letting the guard down at home.
. The trap of chasing pride from strangers instead of love from your people.
. A powerful reframe: future vision, present position, past posture.
. Why comparison to your former self will exhaust you and how to stop.
. The “choose you” challenge every parent and partner needs to hear.
. Becoming over arriving: the next 10 miles are yours to design.
