How are you really spending the next decade of your life?
In this special 2-part episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Jeff Echols break down one of the most viral Sunday Scaries articles to date. It’s not just startup advice — it’s a call to rethink your trajectory, your health, your outcomes, and your life.
🚀 Part 1 dives into KP's viral LinkedIn post, the now-famous Talking Heads reference, and why your startup is just a rocket — not your identity. They explore sunk cost fallacy, ego traps, and the myth of "in-flight" success.

Mental and physical health goals
Family and relationship trade-offs
Personal financial benchmarks
Pivot check-ins vs. perseverance traps
