#15 - Gold, Greed & Purpose: What’s Your Treasure?

In this episode, Steven explores the deeper meaning of treasure, values, and the courage to stand up for what truly matters in One Piece Chapter 15: Gong. By examining Boodle’s unwavering commitment to his town, Buggy’s greed-driven worldview, and Luffy’s instinct to protect others, we uncover a powerful lesson: treasure isn’t just gold and silver—it’s what we hold dear enough to fight for. Listeners will gain insights into the power of personal values, how to define their own “treasure,” and why aligning actions with core beliefs leads to a more fulfilling life. Steven shares real-world applications on standing firm in the face of adversity, making tough decisions with confidence, and identifying what truly matters beyond material success. If you’ve ever questioned what’s really worth fighting for in your own life—whether in your career, relationships, or personal goals—this episode will inspire you to take a stand and protect what’s most valuable to you.
