In this profound solo episode, Andrew Reed takes us deep into the philosophical and personal roots of the question that gives this podcast its name. Sitting on the charred remains of his mountaintop recording studio — a space consumed by wildfire — Andrew speaks candidly about purpose, mortality, creativity, and risk. The central question, "What are you willing to throw your life away on?" is explored not as a metaphor, but as a real-life compass that demands clarity, courage, and soul-level commitment.

From brushes with death to the sacrifices required for mastery, Andrew shares humbly what it takes to live without regret — a life not thrown away meaninglessly, but offered fully to something worthy. It’s a powerful reflection for anyone facing loss, transition, or the urgency to live a more intentional life... And the path to success, which includes deep satisfaction that is often missing in worldly "achievement".
