This episode is about the quiet power of discipline—of showing up even when motivation fades, of sticking to your personal rules when no one’s watching. Whether it’s writing, training, building a business, or simply staying committed to a craft, we explore how consistency and focus often matter more than raw talent. We unpack the idea that progress doesn’t come from rare bursts of brilliance, but from daily effort—especially on the hard days. From pushing through pain in an ultra-marathon to sitting down at a desk with no guarantees of inspiration, this episode dives into the mindset required to go the distance in anything worth doing. If you've ever felt like quitting, or wondered why you keep going when it would be easier to stop, this one’s for you.
