In this week's THINQ podcast episode, Carey Nieuwhof unpacks why success can make you sick if you’re not careful.
He shares the story of tulip mania to show how quickly culture can convince us something is priceless—then leave us holding nothing. Leaders fall into the same trap when our platform outpaces our character, when our schedule suffocates our soul, or when we confuse followers with real friends.
Carey’s challenge is simple: work twice as hard on who you’re becoming as you do on what you’re building. Slow down. Draw boundaries. Let Jesus shape the parts of you no one sees. That’s what keeps you standing when everything else shifts.
