In this episode, Carl shares a small but revealing moment of failure. After spending most of the day resisting the urge to do the “checky check,” he slipped late at night and lost nearly an hour wandering the internet. Instead of turning that mistake into a story about personal failure, Carl explores a different response: treating the moment as information. By noticing the pattern, getting curious about the behavior, and simply beginning again the next day, he reflects on a gentler and more productive way to relate to mistakes.

What is Behavior Gap Radio?
Greetings, Carl here.
This podcast is super simple, it's me wandering through the world noticing things about how to align my use of capital (time and money) with what is actually important to me.
