#67 — William Mulvaney: Unemployment, Habits & Building Structure While Traveling

What happens when the steady paycheck ends and routines fall apart on the road? In this solo episode, William shares raw reflections on his first month without a job, the struggle of keeping discipline while traveling, and the “oh sh*t” moments that come with full-time entrepreneurship.

From meditation in Bali to cold plunges, running, and breaking phone habits, he explores the routines that keep him grounded—and why building structure matters more when life feels uncertain. He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at his new app, Grooves, built to help people strengthen their habits and daily rhythms.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to balance freedom, discipline, and accountability without a safety net, this episode will hit home.
