In this episode of The Time Investor Podcast, Dr. Matt Dalton asks a powerful question: What are you marinating in? Are you soaking in negativity, blame, and frustration—or are you choosing to season your life with gratitude, ownership, and perspective? Drawing inspiration from a time he went to a Japanese BBQ, this episode explores how the atmosphere we steep ourselves in shapes our mood, mindset, and ultimately our life. It’s not about faking positivity—but about choosing how you respond. Because how you invest your time—and your thoughts—determines everything.

In a world addicted to speed, we can’t even slow down for three minutes. In this episode, Dr. Matt Dalton challenges you to stop rushing — even just for a moment. If you’re listening at 2x speed, ask yourself: what are you really in a hurry for? Because the truth is, how you invest your time determines everything — and presence can’t be sped up. Take a breath, listen at normal speed, and reclaim your moment.

In this episode, Dr. Matt Dalton explores our obsession with speed—faster Wi-Fi, quicker deliveries, crammed schedules—and asks the question: what are we really hurrying for? Building on last episode’s reflection about what we’re chasing, he shares insights inspired by The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, reminding us that relentless rushing robs us of presence, peace, and purpose. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, or just stuck in go-mode, this one’s for you. Slow down. Take a breath. And invest your time where it actually matters.

What are you really chasing? In this episode, Dr. Matt Dalton asks the one question most people avoid. If you’re constantly chasing the next thing — more money, more success, more someday — this is your invitation to stop. To pause. To reflect. Because the joy you’re looking for might already be in front of you. Let’s stop sprinting past the moment that matters most: right now.
