What does it really mean to be the best?

Is it social media likes? Awards? Sold-out shows?
Or is it something quieter… becoming the best version of yourself?

We sat down with Mike Schulte of The Pork Tornadoes and host of the Confused Breakfast Podcast to talk about the difference between external success and internal growth. From packed venues to personal fulfillment, Mike shares what “being the best” has come to mean in his own journey, and why the real scoreboard might not be the one we see online.

If you’ve ever measured yourself against a scoreboard the world created, this conversation is for you.
