This topic came up because I was recently sitting at soccer practice. When the kids got a break, I immediately pulled out my phone and pretended that I was talking to someone. WHY? Well, I am trying to teach my son about INTRINSIC motivation. He is that kid — I think we all have one […]

It may seem weird to talk about willpower since we’re constantly saying that a successful journey cannot be solely an exercise in willpower. I stand by that — the goal is to get to a point when you don’t need willpower to live the life you’ve built. You live this way because you’ve grown to […]

Ever wondered what makes Olympians and other world-class athletes that way? How they get to the very top of human performance? What makes them different from regular Jane?

We even wrote about it at some point. To summarize, I said that since we interacted with food daily, […]

If you’ve ever needed a no-nonsense sesh, this one’s for you. Week after week, I sit in front of our cohorts and tell my clients how to overcome hard things. I like to think I’m pretty darn good at it. Having gone through my fair share of hard things and coming out the other side. […]
