After dancing in his car for 90 days straight, Kade Peterson went viral and met T-Pain — but the real transformation happened before that.
In this episode, we explore how getting uncomfortable on purpose rewired Kade's brain and helped him build a happier, more purpose-driven life. He rebuilt his discipline, learned to trust himself again, and started making bold, consistent moves that continue to shape his success.
For the builders, dreamers, and doers who want to go all in — this conversation will light a fire under you.
We talk about:
- Self-discipline and discomfort
- Content creation and momentum
- Motivation vs. consistency
- The power of doing hard things — even when you don't feel ready
