🎙️ In this episode of the Midway Business Podcast, Butch Zemar dives into the unglamorous truth about why people give up too early — and no, it’s not just because Netflix released another season of something shiny. From childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut (thanks for nothing, Navy recruiter) to navigating the chaotic galaxy known as health insurance, Butch shares battle-tested stories about how success isn’t a straight line — it’s more like a drunken loop-de-loop through doubt, detours, and deductible spreadsheets. Spoiler alert: most people don’t fail — they just stop showing up.

Using Alex Ovechkin’s record-breaking goal streak as a metaphor (because who doesn’t love hockey analogies), Butch reminds us that even the greatest need assists — from line mates, life partners, and yes, even LinkedIn followers. Whether you're chasing a business goal, a personal best, or just trying to survive open enrollment season with your sanity intact, this episode is your wake-up call to stop ghosting your goals. Grab your calendar, call your therapist, and for the love of benefits, journal your action steps. Because the only thing worse than failing is hiring a broker who gives up faster than your New Year’s resolution.
