Winners never quit—except when they do, and it’s the smartest damn thing they’ve ever done. This is the true story of a spy who risked everything, stole war-changing intel, and then made the hardest call of all: walking away. Why? Because survival isn’t just about endurance—it’s about knowing when to pivot. In this episode, we break down the psychology of quitting as strategy, why the sunk cost fallacy is keeping you stuck, and how to know when it’s time to cut the rope. Because sometimes, the strongest move isn’t pushing through—it’s letting go.
