The Daily Drive

310. The Clean Slate Myth

We love the idea of a “fresh start.” A new season, a new team, a new relationship — the illusion of a clean slate feels like freedom. But what if that’s a trap? In this episode, we challenge the myth that you can totally start over. Because in reality, you bring you into every situation — your habits, your patterns, your mindset. The question isn’t, “How can I wipe the slate clean?” The real question is, “What will I bring forward with me?” Instead of waiting for a reset, maybe the work is learning to repurpose what’s already on the slate.


🎙️ The Daily Drive is where we sharpen our decisions through mental models — helping you lead yourself like a pro, one episode at a time.
