🎙 What if I told you the worst excuse in the world is the one you sell to yourself?
Welcome to 5% Radio, where we dive deep into the mindset of success, the inevitability of failure, and the lessons hidden in the pressure of losing. In today’s episode, we’re unpacking why winners actually lose more than losers, how to harness failure as fuel, and why change is inevitable but growth is optional.
We kick things off with an inspiring story from Chicken Soup for the Soul about Monty Roberts—the kid who refused to give up his dream, even when his teacher slapped an F on his future. From there, we explore the raw, often uncomfortable truths about losing:
🔥 Segment 1: The Pressure of Losing – How setbacks either break you or build you.
🔥 Segment 2: Why Winners Lose More – The difference between running from failure and learning from it.
🔥 Segment 3: The Loser’s Choice – When the heat’s on, do you quit or lean in?
🔥 Segment 4: Change is Circumstantial, Growth is Optional – Life changes, but you decide if you grow.
🔥 Segment 5: Turning Losses into Wins – Why keeping score matters and how your mindset shapes your outcomes.
We’ll talk about the hard stuff—the excuses you tell yourself, the temptation to quit when things get tough, and how consistency, not comfort, builds character. You’ll hear quotes from thinkers like Orrin Woodward, Chris Brady, and Thomas Edison, and learn why embracing losses is the only real way to win in the long game.
🔑 Key Takeaway:
“If you’re not willing to lose short-term, you’re choosing to lose long-term.”
