What if the real education for success doesn’t come from books, seminars, or certifications?
In this episode of The Shattered Mindset Podcast, Melvin P. Larry breaks down a powerful truth that emerged from a simple observation—and a single Instagram comment that resonated with thousands:
“Tenacity, by itself, is a business school.”
This episode explores why so many intelligent, talented, and capable people quit early—not because they can’t do the work, but because their “I Quit” level shows up before commitment does.
You’ll hear reflections on:
- Why tenacity is trained, not just inherited
- The difference between staying enrolled and actively engaging
- How unfinished projects quietly erode self-trust
- Why finishing builds identity, not just results
- The hidden cost of passive endurance versus active commitment
This is a grounded, reflective conversation for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone navigating the middle of life—where clarity is earned through pressure, not motivation.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, stalled, or quietly disengaged from something that once mattered, this episode will help you reconnect to the discipline of finishing and the integrity of your own word.
