Breaking Drift

Dominick Quartuccio introduces the concept of "drift," a state where individuals unconsciously meander through life, often only taking control when external forces disrupt their routine. He emphasizes that many people live in this state, despite having everything they need on paper, leading to unhappiness. Dominick's mission is to help people break free from this drift and design a future they are excited to live into.
