In this episode of PivotMe, April dives deep into the age-old productivity wisdom: “Eat the frog first.” But this isn’t just about task lists—it’s about courage, action, and momentum. April breaks down why high performers don’t avoid hard things; they just do them faster. With raw stories, practical insights, and a splash of humor, this episode will challenge listeners to stop delaying and start leaping.
Key Takeaways:
-
What the Frog Really Is: It’s that hard conversation, overdue decision, or the lingering task you keep pushing off. And it’s costing you peace and progress.
-
The Myth of Graduation: You don’t outgrow difficult tasks. Successful people just build the muscle to handle them faster and messier.
-
10 Seconds of Courage: You don’t need hours of motivation—just ten seconds of brave action to shift everything.
-
Momentum Matters: Eating one frog builds energy to tackle the next. Success is a domino effect—just start.
-
Don’t Over-Prepare: High performers don’t “perfectly plan” their attack on the frog—they just move. They wreck it. They move on.
Quote from the Episode:
“Frogs don’t disappear when you get more successful. They just get bigger—and you get better at eating them.”
Actionable Items:
-
Identify the “frog” you've been avoiding—name it.
-
Set a timer and give yourself 10 seconds of bravery to leap.
-
Don’t wait for permission, motivation, or perfection—just move.
-
Use the momentum from one win to build into the next.
Hard things don’t go away. But you don’t need less frogs—you need more courage. Eat the frog, eat it fast, and watch how your confidence and success compound.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
