"Most success comes from doing the boring things well—here’s how to stick with them."
We’ve all chased shiny shortcuts, only to realize the real magic happens in the daily grind. This episode cracks open the unsexy habits that separate dreamers from doers—like cold-calling when no one’s watching, underwriting deals that won’t close for months, or waking up early not because it’s trendy, but because it aligns with your North Star.
📌 Key Topics:
✅ Why "1% better every day" fails if you’re measuring the wrong metrics
✅ How mundane habits (like tracking load boards or underwriting 5 deals daily) compound into life-changing results
✅ The counterintuitive link between specialization and freedom (hint: stop trying to do everything)
✅ What Kobe Bryant and trucking dispatchers have in common—and why systems beat motivation every time
If you’ve ever felt stuck in the "middle grind" of business or life, this is your reminder: the long way is the shortcut.
