EP 109: Why Discipline Beats Motivation Every Time

Are you halfway through the year and feeling stuck, wondering why your goals still feel out of reach? In this episode, I get real about what it takes to actually change your trajectory. I break down the powerful mindset shift from letting your feelings dictate your actions to building unshakeable discipline. You’ll hear practical strategies I use daily to ensure I’m always moving forward—even when life gets tough or motivation fades.

 

We’ll talk about why feelings are unreliable, how systems and discipline lead to success, and the small but critical habits that make the biggest difference over time. Plus, I share insights from mentors like David Goggins, Ed Mylett, and Andy Frisella, and give you a step-by-step blueprint for turning your second half of the year into your most productive yet. If you’re tired of ending up in the same place year after year, this is the episode for you.
