Don't Burn Out Before Your Breakthrough | Ep. 073

Are you grinding so hard that you’re sabotaging your own success?

In this powerful episode of King Moves, Justin shares the mental and physical lessons behind running 10 marathons in 10 days—and why pushing to your limit every day is the wrong move.

Ethan draws the parallel to business, where most leaders are stuck redlining, mistaking constant hustle for real preparation.
