In this episode, we ask the hard question: At what cost? Every decision we make has a price, whether it’s chasing cheap dopamine, staying stuck in toxic habits, or sacrificing discipline for instant gratification. We talk about the hidden costs of addiction, burnout, and relationships when we choose comfort today but pay for it tomorrow. From personal stories of loss and heartbreak to lessons about faith, resilience, and facing the storm instead of running from it, this conversation goes deep into what true growth really takes. Success, fulfillment, and freedom don’t come without sacrifice—and sometimes the pain we avoid is the exact pain that transforms us. If you’ve ever wondered what your habits, choices, and shortcuts are really costing your future self, this episode will change the way you see your life.INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/antoniovaglicajrhttps://www.instagram.com/momentumshiftpodhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_TIKTOKhttps://www.tiktok.com/@momentumshiftpod_CHAPTERS:00:00 Team Dynamics & Trust in Leadership04:00 The Power of Delegation and Hiring08:30 Price vs. Cost: Business, Health, and Habits13:00 Consequences of Short-Term Fixes17:00 Living in the Past vs. Designing Your Future22:00 Being Present, Mindfulness, and Life's Pace27:00 Burnout, Recharging, and Finding Your Source32:00 Emotional Highs and Lows: Self-Awareness37:00 Shame, Therapy, and Emotional Processing42:00 Pain, Change, and Life's Tough Lessons48:00 Relationships: Letting Go and Self-Honesty54:00 Standards, Boundaries, and Subtraction01:00:00 Accountability, Truth, and Winning01:05:00 Intention, Self-Forgiveness, and Realness01:09:00 Podcasting as an Outlet & Wrapping UpKEYWORDS:dopamine addiction, instant gratification, long-term discipline, cost of comfort, personal growth, pain and success, mental health struggles, burnout recovery, relationships and growth, overcoming addiction, resilience and faith, sacrifice for success, spiritual growth, podcast motivation#Podcast #MentalHealth #SelfImprovement #Discipline #AddictionRecovery #GrowthMindset #Motivation #Burnout #Faith #Resilience #DopamineDetox #LifeLessons
