    Stop Focusing On The Results (Do This Instead)

    In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake explore a question that sits underneath almost every area of life: What are your roots actually planted in? In a culture that constantly pushes speed, comparison, image, and surface-level success, they talk about why so many people feel spiritually exhausted, emotionally unstable, or disconnected from real peace even while chasing good things on the outside. This conversation is about what truly sustains a person when pressure, suffering, uncertainty, and temptation inevitably come. Rather than focusing only on external behavior, Zach and Jake dig into the deeper issue of formation—what shapes a man over time, what he meditates on, what influences him, and where he looks for life. Drawing heavily from biblical imagery around rootedness, they discuss how shallow roots lead to instability, while deep roots create resilience, fruitfulness, peace, and clarity even in difficult seasons. They also wrestle with the difference between striving and abiding, and why many people are trying to produce externally without first being deeply grounded internally. Through the lens of Move Right, the episode challenges listeners to think seriously about what they are feeding their minds, where they are seeking identity, and whether their life is being built on something deep enough to last. This is a conversation for people who want more than surface-level productivity or temporary motivation and are looking for a more rooted, durable, and meaningful way to live.

Additional Discussion Topics: What it means to be deeply rooted instead of emotionally reactiveWhy external success cannot replace internal stabilityThe connection between roots, resilience, and long-term fruitfulnessThe difference between striving and abidingHow daily inputs shape identity, thinking, and peaceWhy suffering often reveals what a person is truly rooted inThe role of Scripture, truth, and meditation in spiritual formationHow to build a life that remains steady through pressure and uncertainty

    You Weren't Created To Fit In (Dr. Jack Skeen)

    In this episode of Move Right, Zach sits down with Dr. Jack Skeen for a conversation about identity, greatness, and one of the most important questions a person can ask: Why do you get out of bed in the morning? Starting from Jack’s work helping leaders find clarity around their path, the conversation challenges the labels many people have carried for years—things like “too intense,” “too sensitive,” “compulsive,” or “ADHD”—and asks whether those traits may actually be pointing toward a person’s unique design instead of just a problem to manage. This conversation goes far beyond career advice. Zach and Jack explore why so many people end up living like “plow horses,” trapped in responsibility, performance, and other people’s expectations, while feeling disconnected from what actually makes them come alive. They talk about the difference between being shaped by labels versus discovering greatness, why many people answer life’s biggest questions in the wrong order, and how fear of what others think can keep a person from ever stepping into the life they were made for. They also get into Jack’s belief that what culture often calls a disorder may sometimes reveal both a person’s greatest risk and their greatest gift. Through the lens of Move Right, this episode is about learning to see the breadcrumbs of calling, paying attention to what makes you feel most alive, and recognizing that real greatness is often found in the very place other people told you to tone down, suppress, or fix. This is a conversation for anyone who feels stuck in the wrong lane, senses there is more in them, or wants to understand how identity, purpose, and contribution connect in a deeper way.

Additional Discussion Topics: Why many people live by labels they never choseHow to tell the difference between a burden and a callingWhy greatness often hides inside what looks “wrong” on the surfaceThe danger of living as a “good boy” or “good girl” for too longWhy caring too much about what others think keeps people stuckHow to look for breadcrumbs that point toward purposeThe difference between being a plow horse and being a reservoirWhy waking up a person’s greatness can transform a life or a company

    He's Not Using His College Degree. Was It A Waste?

    In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question more people are asking right now: If you got a college degree and are not directly using it, was it all a waste? Starting from Jake’s own experience of studying electrical engineering and now moving in a very different direction, they unpack the pressure many people feel when family, culture, or employers treat a degree like it only matters if it leads to one specific job. This conversation goes deeper than whether college is “good” or “bad.” Zach and Jake challenge the idea that a degree is just a piece of paper or a magic ticket to stability, and instead ask a better question: What did the degree actually train you to do? They explore how a degree may represent ways of thinking, solving problems, and creating value that still matter even if someone never works in the exact field they studied. They also wrestle with whether college is still worth the cost today, especially in a world where technology is moving fast and many practical skills can now be learned outside traditional institutions. Through the lens of Move Right, they argue that the real issue is not simply whether someone is using their degree, but whether they are learning how to think, how to create value, and how to apply their gifts in a changing marketplace. This episode is for people questioning their path, parents thinking about what to encourage their kids toward, and anyone wondering whether the “normal” route is still producing the kind of outcomes they actually want. To watch the full conversation, find Move Right with Zach and Jake on YouTube at @ZKosturos. Additional Discussion Topics: What a college degree actually represents beyond a job titleWhether someone can still be “using” a degree outside the original fieldWhy college has often been treated like proof of preparationWhether that proof still means the same thing todayHow technology is changing the value of traditional degreesThe difference between learning what to think and learning how to thinkWhy creating value matters more than simply collecting credentialsHow to rethink college, career paths, and preparation in a changing world

    How To Decide What To Focus On

    In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question almost everyone is feeling right now: How do you know what deserves your time, energy, and focus when life feels full of options, noise, and pressure? Instead of treating overwhelm like a time-management problem alone, they explore a deeper framework for decision-making—learning how to separate the majors from the minors. This conversation is about how to cut through chaos, simplify what matters, and stop spending your best energy on things that feel productive but do not actually move life forward. Using real examples from business, family, faith, and entrepreneurship, Zach and Jake break down why many people naturally gravitate toward what feels familiar or comfortable instead of what is actually most important. They talk about why the ability to allocate time, attention, and effort may become one of the most valuable skills in a world filled with AI, endless content, and constant distraction. They also explore how to think about goals more clearly, how to reverse-engineer what really matters, and why some of the biggest breakthroughs come from simplifying life instead of adding more complexity. Through the lens of Move Right, they argue that uncommon outcomes will increasingly belong to people who can simplify well, identify the real priorities, and keep faith at the center while resisting the pressure to obsess over every minor detail. This episode is for men who feel stretched thin, pulled in too many directions, or unsure what the right next move actually is—and want a better framework for deciding what matters most. To watch the full conversation, find Move Right with Zach and Jake on YouTube at @ZKosturos. Additional Discussion Topics: The difference between majors and minors in life and workWhy many people spend their best energy on the wrong thingsHow to think more clearly about time, focus, and allocationWhy simplification may be one of the most valuable skills going forwardHow goals can be reverse-engineered into real prioritiesThe role of faith in organizing the other areas of lifeWhy entrepreneurs often avoid the real major and hide in setup workHow community and complementary strengths help people move forward

    Is Your Ambition Actually Hurting You?

    In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question a lot of driven men wrestle with: Is ambition a good thing, or can it quietly pull a man in the wrong direction? Instead of treating ambition as automatically good or automatically bad, they explore the difference between selfish ambition and godly ambition, and why the real issue is not whether a man is driven, but what is fueling that drive in the first place. This conversation goes deeper than achievement, money, or success on the surface. Zach and Jake talk about how selfish ambition is often tied to pride, rivalry, fear, validation, and the need to prove something, while godly ambition flows from identity, service, and using a man’s gifts to lift others up. They also explore why ambition becomes dangerous when it creates chaos, striving, and disorder, and why healthy ambition is more about bringing beauty, excellence, and flourishing into the world through the gifts God has given. Through the lens of Move Right, they challenge the false binary that men must choose between having no ambition at all or chasing success for selfish reasons. Instead, they offer a better framework: know your identity first, understand your gifts in community, let go of fear, and then look for opportunities to use those gifts in ways that serve others well. This episode is for men trying to sort out their calling, their drive, and whether the life they are building is flowing from insecurity or from clarity and purpose. To watch the full conversation, find Move Right on YouTube at @ZKosturos. Additional Discussion Topics: The difference between selfish ambition and godly ambitionWhy ambition becomes dangerous when it is rooted in pride or validationHow chaos, striving, and disorder can reveal the wrong kind of ambitionWhy identity should come before ambition, not after itHow gifts are meant to serve others, not just elevate selfWhy fear can cloud calling, purpose, and self-understandingThe role of community in helping reveal a person’s giftsHow to pursue excellence without falling into rivalry or conceit

    Why You're Tired, Even When Everything's Working

    In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a tension a lot of driven men quietly live with: Why is it so hard to truly rest, even when life looks productive on the outside? Instead of treating rest like laziness or something earned only after enough work is done, they explore a deeper idea—that rest is actually part of how God designed people to live and thrive. This conversation gets beneath hustle culture and into the fear, anxiety, and striving that often keep men from feeling peace even when they slow down. Through the lens of Move Right, Zach and Jake challenge the assumption that success always comes from pushing harder. They talk about the difference between taking time off and actually being at rest, why many people work their whole lives so they can rest later instead of learning to work from rest now, and how fear often sits underneath constant striving. They also connect rest to trust, showing that real peace comes from believing God is sovereign, present, and enough—even when the future feels uncertain. This episode is for men who are tired, anxious, constantly “on,” and ready to think differently about peace, productivity, and what it means to live well. To watch the full conversation, find Move Right on YouTube at @ZKosturos. Additional Discussion Topics: The difference between taking a break and actually being at restWhy anxiety and fear often sit underneath constant strivingHow hustle culture can disguise deeper unrestWhat it means to work from rest instead of working toward restWhy Sabbath reflects a pattern built into God’s designHow peace, trust, and surrender relate to real restWhy many productive people still feel exhausted insideHow to approach work, family, and uncertainty from a place of peace

    The 75/25 Rule for Making Hard Decisions

    In this episode of Move Right, Zach and Jake tackle a question almost everyone faces at some point: How do you become more decisive when the stakes feel high? Instead of falling into the two common extremes—either “just send it” without enough thought or endlessly preparing without ever acting—they explore what it looks like to take a better path. This conversation is about how real decisiveness is built through preparation, conviction, faith, and the courage to move before full certainty ever arrives. Through the lens of Move Right, Zach and Jake break down why decisive people are often not reckless at all—they are prepared. They discuss the role of due diligence, emotional control, fruit, wise counsel, and listening for God’s voice when making major life decisions around career, marriage, business, and calling. They also wrestle with the tension between responsibility and trust, showing that courage is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to move forward when conviction has been built and faith must carry the rest. This episode is for men who feel stuck, torn between too many opinions, or afraid of making the wrong move—and want a clearer framework for deciding well. To watch the full conversation, find Move Right on YouTube at @ZKosturos. Additional Discussion Topics: Why “just send it” and “just prepare more” are both incompleteHow decisiveness is shaped by preparation, conviction, and courageWhy fruit matters when evaluating your patterns and the advice you takeThe role of wise counsel versus endless opinion-seekingHow faith and quiet time with God help clarify major decisionsWhy certainty is never total, and courage is still requiredHow to think through big decisions like career, business, marriage, and movingWhy decisive people often have stronger emotional control, not just stronger opinions
