Episode notes
Future Tripping Is A Nervous System Pattern
- Future tripping is different from planning; it's a nervous system pattern that tries to create false control by obsessing over what might happen next.
- Jamie Sea explains the brain prefers predictability, so when entrepreneurs pursue bigger goals their nervous system future-paces to keep them in a familiar safety zone.

- Jamie Sea notes this pattern trains your body to believe current success is never enough.
