About this episode

Most people think they have a discipline problem. They don't.

What they actually have is an identity problem dressed up as a willpower problem, and no amount of grinding will fix it.

In this episode, I'm giving you the formula I've used to stay consistent through three exits, scaling past $100M, and finishing three Ironmans, even on the days I didn't feel like showing up. Watch to the end if you're tired of starting over every Monday.
