What happens when you’re ready for a peaceful early night—and end up in a spiral over a $900 mistake? In this episode, Robby opens up about a LinkedIn job ad gone wrong, the panic that followed, and the surprising emotional high of getting that money refunded. It’s a simple story, but one packed with insight into how expectations influence our moods more than reality ever does.
The psychology of expectations governs so much of our happiness. Your car starting each morning rarely brings you joy, but when it fails to start and then finally roars to life, you feel disproportionate happiness despite ending up exactly where you expected to be originally. This same principle extends to health, relationships, and especially business. When a health scare strikes, our priorities instantly shift, revealing what truly matters beyond deadlines and reports.
Whether you're building a business, leading a team, or just navigating your own self-growth journey, this episode will hit home. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to want more—as long as you’re grounded in appreciation. Always grateful, never satisfied.
