Most people want a better life — more purpose, peace, discipline, confidence, and meaning.

But real change usually begins with one uncomfortable truth:

You must take responsibility for your life.

In this first episode of Rule of Reason, Zac explores why personal responsibility is the foundation for growth, maturity, resilience, and meaning in modern life.

This episode covers:

• Why responsibility is not the same as blame
• How excuses keep people trapped
• Why small disciplines matter
• The connection between responsibility and meaning
• How taking ownership changes your future

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, bitter, or directionless, this episode is for you.

Because while you cannot control everything that happens to you… you can control what you do next.

Why do so many people feel lost today — even when life looks good on the surface?

In this episode of Rule of Reason, I sit down with Dan Paterson from Questioning Christianity to unpack one of the biggest questions of our time: why modern life feels empty, and what might actually fix it.

We live in the most comfortable, advanced society in human history… yet anxiety, confusion, and a lack of purpose seem more common than ever.

So what’s going on?

This conversation goes beyond surface-level answers and explores:

• Why people feel lost despite having “everything”
• The difference between feeling meaning and grounding it
• How modern culture shapes our desires (often without us realising)
• The role of suffering, purpose, and responsibility in a meaningful life
• Whether it’s possible to live a truly meaningful life without God
• Why doubt isn’t the enemy — and how questioning can lead to truth

Dan shares his personal story — including tragedy, doubt, and the journey that led him to dedicate his life to helping others wrestle with life’s biggest questions.

This isn’t about religion for the sake of religion.

It’s about truth, meaning, and how to actually live well.

If you’ve ever felt like something is missing — this conversation is for you.

What would you sacrifice for your family?

In this episode, I sit down with Jack Capewell — a young father of three — to talk about responsibility, faith, and the cost of choosing what truly matters.

Jack had the opportunity to pursue his dream of playing American football overseas. It was everything he had worked towards. But when the reality of leaving his family behind became clear, he made a decision that many wouldn’t have the strength to make.

He walked away.

We talk about:
• Turning down a dream career for family
• The silent sacrifices men make every day
• Becoming a father at a young age
• The reality of FIFO work and providing for a family
• How faith changed the direction of his life
• Why responsibility gives life meaning

This conversation isn’t about fame or success — it’s about what happens when you choose purpose over self.

If you’re trying to build a meaningful life in a world that often pulls you in the opposite direction, this one is for you.
