Why Are We So Bad at Setting Goals?

Episode Description

We’re kicking off 2026 with a big change! Di walks into the studio with a completely shaved head, addressing the "elephant in the room" immediately.


But this episode isn't just about the new look - it’s about looking forward. Di introduces the "10,000 Days" framework: the idea that at mid-life, we have roughly 10,000 days left to live. The question isn't just what your net worth will be when you're 80, but whether you had a "sh*t ton of fun" getting there.


We also get into a heated debate about "parenting scorecards" (do you really need data to know if you’re a present dad?).


In this episode, we cover:

  • The Big Reveal: Why Di shaved her head and the "interesting assumptions" people make.
  • The 10,000 Days Rule: A framework for reverse-engineering your life from age 80.
  • The "Shit Ton of Fun" Metric: Why financial freedom means nothing if you're miserable achieving it.


Steve and Seamus are proud to be dressed by Barkers!
