The Bigger the Boat, the Further From Water | Why Chasing More Won’t Fill You

In this deeply personal episode of Launch Your Rocket, Jen Smith reflects on what truly matters. Broadcasting from her 42-foot boat "Restless Spirit," Jen shares how setbacks led to stillness—and how stillness led to revelation. She unpacks why chasing "bigger" in life—homes, jobs, titles, even dreams—often pulls us away from what really fills our soul.
