Is hustle without mastery just wasted motion?
You show up. You grind. You hustle.
But what if none of that is moving the needle because your effort isn’t effective?
In this episode of King Moves, Ethan and Justin unpack a powerful insight from a world-class speaker who built a literal Ninja Warrior rig on stage to make a point: practice alone is ineffective if you aren't practicing the right moves.
They challenge the myth that more reps automatically lead to better results, and reveal how minor technical tweaks—whether in athletics, business, or public speaking—can unlock explosive momentum.
If you’ve been stuck in the loop of “doing the work” but seeing no progress, this episode will force you to reevaluate your approach.
