Why You Quit Everything You Start

Winning at Life is a podcast about everything school left out.

Luis Valdes and Severin Spagnola met in a middle school STEM program and have been figuring life out together ever since. Luis was 300 pounds before losing half his body weight and giving a TEDx talk about it. Severin studies aerospace engineering at San Jose State and is building Chipster, a startup automating computer chip verification.

Every episode takes one thing that actually moves the needle and breaks it down: finding the work you were born to do, making decisions you won't regret, climbing out of a rut, building habits that hold, and why the people you know shape nearly everything that happens to you.

The name comes from the Pareto principle. Roughly 20% of what you do drives 80% of your results, so that 20% is where we spend our time.

We share the wins, the failures, and the parts we're still working out.
