• Most people think they know their values, but they don’t. Single words like “integrity” or “family” aren’t specific enough to guide decisions—you need actionable phrases that mean something unique to you.

• Your values are forged through formative experiences. They come from both the things you’re doubling down on and the things you’re running away from in your childhood and adolescence.

• The “Big Three” require values alignment. Your partner, your vocation, and your community will fail without core values alignment—and knowing your values helps you make these critical choices.

• Living your values requires courage. Short-term costs are real, but the long-term pain of misalignment is far greater.

The Dissonance Problem

Robert opens with a reality check: most people haven’t thought much about their core values, some have vague one-word values like “integrity” or “family,” and only a few have a written, defined list they actually use. The problem? Most of us are on autopilot - doing good things, working hard, showing up - but without the clarity that comes from knowing what truly matters. This creates dissonance: a persistent discomfort that shows up when we’re living out of alignment with our deepest principles.
