    Day 11: Are the So-Called Truths Really True?

    We grow up surrounded by comforting clichés: “No pain, no gain,” “It’s darkest before the dawn,” “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” But have you ever stopped to ask if these “truths” are actually true—or just tools of control? Today, Wes dives into the heavy weight of doubt, the lessons hidden within historical revolutions, and what it really means to move forward through pain. If you’ve ever felt exhausted or questioned the beliefs you’ve always held close, this episode is for you. Close your eyes, take a breath, and let’s find our way forward together. See you on Day 12.

    Day 10 : Clayheart

    Before the sound, there was silence. Before the album, there was fear. In this episode, Wes returns to the cave, a place of noise, doubt, and fragile beginnings. He reflects on the years spent creating, hiding, and healing. And how, through family, struggle, and time, he found the strength to begin again. A story about music, mistakes, and the courage to move forward. Ready to start your own journey to Mars? Explore the tools here.

    DAY 9: What Kind of Child Were You?

    Where does “now” begin? In today’s log, Wes reflects on childhood — the fragments we remember, the stories we forget, and how the people we become are shaped long before we know it. A gentle meditation on memory, family, and change. Ready to start your own journey to Mars? Explore the tools here.

    DAY 8 : Great Expectations

    What do we inherit from those who came before us — and what are we meant to become? In this episode, Wes reflects on fate, family, and the invisible gifts that reveal themselves only after failure, grief, and long journeys. Through the stories of Pip (Great Expectations) and Santiago (The Alchemist), we explore how real treasure often lies not at the end of the road, but quietly beside us the whole time. Take a moment to breathe. Let today’s shield sound carry you into stillness. May the stars guide your way. Ready to start your own journey to Mars? Explore the tools here.

    DAY 7 : Dim the Light

    The biggest mistake I ever made? Taking everything I had built and dimming the light with my own hands. After getting good reviews and recognition for my first album, I threw it all away. Not because it failed, but because it wasn't enough. I became a mouse running back to its hole, making meaningless all the hopes of those who believed in me. The dumbest thing you can say when impatience started everything: "I need more time." A raw confession about self-sabotage and the greed disguised as standards. 🎧 Stay until the end for today's shield sound💫 May the stars guide your way #SelfSabotage #DimTheLight #MissionToMars #Podcast

    DAY 6 : From Silence, to Song, to Self

    Before the business failures and rejections, I was someone else entirely. I was a musician. Today I share the quiet story of an angry kid who found solace only in music, locked away in his room with a cheap guitar and impossible dreams. From obsessing over L.A. travel guides to finally releasing an album with my name on it - this is how desperation tattooed knowledge into me like ink. But completion isn't the end. It's just learning to stand up. Then you realize you still have to walk. In this episode: Why music was my only comfort, how I navigated L.A. like I'd lived there, and the emptiness that rushes in after achieving what you thought you wanted. Sometimes the most important lessons come from the quietest moments. A more contemplative journey today. Perfect for those reflective moments. 🎧 Listen with headphones for the full experience✨ Stay until the end for today's shield sound - take some good rest #Musician #Dreams #Childhood #Introspection #MissionToMars #Podcast

    DAY 5 : REJECTION, REJECTION, REJECTION

    The brutal truth about rejection that no one talks about. Today I share the raw reality of facing endless rejections while building a business, from anxiety attacks triggered by phone rings to the "Friday curse" that left me pacing like a caged animal. After 5 failures, I've learned that success isn't about being brilliant. It's about developing thick skin and refusing to quit until you become brilliant. In this episode: Why 90% of rejections happen on Fridays, how failure removes prejudice, and why the most successful people I know started with absolutely nothing. If you've ever felt crushed by rejection, this one's for you. Nevertheless, we keep moving forward. 🎧 Listen with headphones for the full experience ✨ Stay until the end for today's shield sound #Rejection #Entrepreneurship #Resilience #MissionToMars #Podcast
