EP. 85 The Cost of Comfort
What's the true price we pay for staying comfortable?
Most of us don't realize how much our avoidance of discomfort is costing us. When we dodge difficult conversations, stick to familiar routines, and always choose the safe option, we're quietly trading our potential for convenience. This invisible transaction might be the biggest reason people remain stuck in life.
The world constantly trains us to seek comfort and instant gratification, yet history shows that meaningful growth happens through challenge. Think about it: from biblical figures facing resistance to achieve greatness, to the concept that hard times create strong people who then create good times – discomfort shapes us. We explore this fascinating cycle and what it means for current generations who might be missing crucial growth opportunities in an increasingly cushioned world.
What about our children? How do we balance wanting to give them advantages while ensuring they develop resilience? We dive into this parenting paradox and share personal stories about life-changing moments where stepping into discomfort completely transformed our trajectories. The truth is, that feeling of resistance when facing a decision is often your internal compass pointing toward growth.
Ready to embrace discomfort and unlock your potential? Listen now and discover why that uncomfortable decision you've been avoiding might be exactly what you need. You're always just one choice away from a completely different life – make it count.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Welcome back to the go all in podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm Braxton Cave and I'm Jake Fine Today.
Man, we don't even know howlong this is going to go, Quick
hitter or what We'll see howlong it goes.
We're going to be talking aboutthe cost of comfort.
Basically, we'll be digginginto how stepping into
discomfort leads to real growth,plus stories I have a couple
(00:45):
stories to tell about, you know,transformation through
challenge.
So you know I'll just gostraight into it.
You know comfort is expensive.
Most people don't realize howmuch.
You know what it's costing forthem and people avoiding like
the hard conversations and whenthey stay in the routine, people
avoiding like the hardconversations and when they stay
(01:05):
in the routine, um, when youalways choose what's safe, um,
you're paying with yourpotential and you're trading
growth for convenience.
And that's one of the biggestreasons why.
You know I've done it, I'vebeen stuck before and I feel
like that's many.
You know it's a reason whypeople stay stuck.
(01:26):
Your journey is going to be achallenge.
I feel like if you're going onthe smooth road and you're not
running into any hiccups oranything like that smooth
sailing, I feel like you're justnot taking the hard route.
I mean, I'm still doing it, I'mstill doing the rv thing and,
(01:49):
um, I feel like I'm on cruisecontrol when I'm doing that.
And if I, if I just stay doingthat and not build my brand or
build any more business venturesI want to do in the future.
Um, I just I like to challengemyself and I like to get
uncomfortable and I feel likewhen you do that, you know
you're you're growing from it,you're you're getting better.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So I think the hard thing is the the world that we
live in trains us to seekcomfort and to chase comfort and
convenience, and it's like we.
We just weren't built for easy.
I just I love the our churchuses the term we do hard things,
like that's.
(02:31):
I love that, that motto, andit's I've kind of pulled it into
the business world of likeanytime we're challenging
ourselves, like the first thingis you get resistance always,
but when you can get a group ofpeople to buy into the idea of
that we do hard things, we arewho we are because we do hard
(02:53):
things, like it changes thewhole perspective of what you're
able to do.
And I think that you know goingoff of the resistance piece and
back to faith, it's like God'sgreatest assignments often came
with resistance.
You know, you look at when youlook into scripture, you look at
, you know the story of Moses,david, paul, jesus, like
(03:20):
constantly, constantly goingagainst the grain, and you know
I just truly believe if it's, ifit's stretching you, it's
shaping you into somethingdifferent, and you look at like
what that journey, you know, Ithink you you could look at,
like you know, chasing comfortversus like we all want the
(03:45):
quick win, like that's anotherthing we're all being trained
into, the instant gratification.
And when you look back inhistory, like the significance
of, you know, 40, the number 40,40 days, 40 years.
But once they've got throughthat, what, what is?
(04:07):
What did 41 look like?
You know, I've, I've this is inmy I got a new piece of tattoo
artwork that I'm getting workedon this fall, and the number 41
plays into it because I love theidea of, like you have to go
through something difficult tothen reach the beauty of what
(04:30):
comes after that, and so theidea of the number 41 has been
significant to me because of,you know, the, the biblical
references of 40 and no onetalks about.
You know, they talk about the,the 40 days or the 40 years of
struggle, but what about 41?
That's where, you know, themagic happens, or where all the
(04:52):
beauty was.
But they had to go through thestruggle and the discomfort to
get there, which leads to, youknow, we've all heard the saying
that, you know, hard timescreate strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create weak men andweak men create hard times, and
I think we're living in thatright now.
I mean, you just look at thegenerations around us.
(05:16):
You know, I think a lot of uscame, you know our generation
came through hardworking men whocreated good men like us in
easy times and now we're havingto work through this.
Holy smokes.
I don't want my kids got togrind.
I need to figure out ways tomake life challenging for them.
(05:37):
Because we've talked about iton this podcast before, but
Rogan has mentioned he had apodcast.
I'm trying to remember who itwas with, but he's like man
every successful friend I have,I have came from a shitty
background and he's like now mykids living in the successes
(05:58):
that I have the 41, the year 41.
And I don't want them like.
I want them to have to workhard and go through the things
that I did, but differently thanI did yeah.
You know, it's like how do youfind some type of balance
between making your kids workhard and go through discomfort
(06:19):
without maybe having to feelsome of the unnecessary
heartbreak that maybe we had to?
Yeah.
And um, but I think that's partof our generation that's
different than others.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Big time, I mean, for I mean example wise, you know,
career.
It's just like if you have afamily-owned business that your
parents or your grandparentsbuilt from the ground up and you
graduate college and all thatand you get the CEO position
right away.
You didn't start from the verybottom.
(06:53):
That's the thing thisgeneration's handed.
I mean, holy cow man, they arejust gift-w, gift wrapped, a lot
of things.
And you know we've talked aboutthis with NIL deals.
You know, I know you can talkabout this cause, this.
They weren't even around whenyou played and she's talked
(07:16):
about.
Are they building theseathletes to?
You know?
Are they able to take care ofthemselves?
Yeah, they're going to havemoney if they do it the right
way.
But no, are they going to knowhow to make themselves food?
Are they, without you know,calling DoorDash or something
like that?
You know it's these littlesituations like that.
It's like they're.
(07:37):
They've been catered theirentire time, you know.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Well, what would be interesting to me is like once
the kids going through this, theones that you know, step into
the real world and get a job,and you get a hard slap of
reality.
Yeah.
You know it'll be interestingto see who pushes through that
(08:02):
and who can't, and I thinkthere's going to there'll be
studies done on this.
I guarantee you.
Yeah, because there's.
You know, just from my ownpersonal experiences.
Like I, I have a lot of buddiesthat I played with who just
could not make the transitionand that was going from no money
(08:22):
to no money, let alone goingfrom receiving money to not
being able to figure it out.
It'll be interesting to seewhat happens.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, because I feel like they're skipping all the
basics, the stuff that welearned, like the financials.
That needs to be taught.
I mean we were taught that.
I mean to a point, you know we,but they need to be teaching
these people how to balance acheckbook.
You know it's, it's not done.
I feel like just the system iscatered to you to fail um, yeah,
(09:02):
I mean going.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Going back to people being handed things.
I mean I have a couple buddieswho I respect the hell out of
because they come fromgenerational wealth and if you
didn't know that you would neverhave any idea Like they work
their butts off trying to maketheir own.
(09:23):
You know, live their own life,create their own legacy.
Um, obviously there's.
There's nothing wrong withcoming from a family like that's
yeah what a great head startyou can have.
I mean, that's what I,ultimately, what I want for my
kids, like I want them to beable to choose, to chase a path
that they're passionate about,versus like having to pick
(09:46):
something and grind through itjust because they, the ones who
are, you know, gifted money orthings and they don't have to
(10:07):
work for it and they just kindof accept that and, um, that's
tough.
Mm.
That's.
I just can't imagine a lifewhere you don't have to wake up
every day and get after it.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
You don't have to wake up every day and get after
it.
That's got to grind.
Since we're on, I was going toask you what's a moment in your
life where stepping intodiscomfort completely changed
your trajectory.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I mean, I think that there's been I don't know that
there's been like onesignificant one along the way,
but there's like been many.
I feel like in life I've hitmany, you know, paths in the
road where the road forked.
Yeah.
I had to pick one way or theother.
You know, I remember being inin sixth grade and my parents
(11:02):
being like, okay, where do youwant to go to school as a 12
year old?
Right, you're like you know,and it was like, okay, you could
go to this school and probablybe the best player on every team
, or you can go to this schooland if you work your butt off
like you can, you know, workyour way and probably end up,
(11:25):
you know, starting and playingat some point and and I chose
that route.
So not that I not like it wasthat significant of a thing, but
like starting and playing atsome point and and I chose that
route.
So not that I not like it wasthat significant of a thing, but
like I think it paid off.
Um between that, you know,choosing to go to Notre Dame
where I knew academically I wasgoing to be challenged, um where
(11:46):
I could have went to otherschools and it would have been
much easier.
Yeah.
To.
Then, you know, jumping into myprofessional career, business
career of you know, I jumpedinto an industry I didn't know a
damn thing about and, you know,just jumping in, learning,
seeking to understand, beinghumble and knowing that you
(12:07):
don't know everything but youcan learn along the way.
I think there's just been manydifferent things that have come
up that have transformed my lifeand I haven't always picked the
right one.
I think the best decision Iever made was marrying my wife,
you know cause she's, she's beenwith me through all those
(12:28):
phases, pretty much that I justexplained, minus being in sixth
grade, not too far off.
But you know, there's, there'sso many, I think, just along the
journey of life there's so manylittle decisions that you make
that end up having a big impactin the end.
(12:48):
It's typically never like this.
The one yeah thing, right, talkabout like drug addiction, like
no one got into drugs wantingto be a drug addict yeah right,
it was that one time at theparty or the one time here.
Oh, I'll try that it's just one.
Decisions, um, that lead to acompletely different life.
(13:12):
You're always one decision awayfrom a completely different
life, yep.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, I was curious Cause I know you've had.
Yeah, you're, I mean, after youcame out of the NFL, and just
the direction you went, you know, with RV and where you're at
now, it's, I mean, it's justyour story's phenomenal.
I love your story, you know,and just the direction you went,
you know with rv and whereyou're at now it's, I mean, it's
just your story's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I love your story, you know.
It's like any.
What I've noticed is likeanytime I make a decision where
I feel uncomfortable, it'sthat's always the right one.
Yep, yeah.
And then, after you do it,you're like that wasn't so bad.
Yep, yeah, like that.
I remember as a kid like Ihated dancing at weddings, like
the people always like drag meout to the dance floor.
I'm like I don't want to dothis.
And then you get out there, youstart dancing, you're having
(13:59):
fun.
You're like why, why wasn't Iout?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
here the whole time because you feel like you're
gonna be criticized and fun of,but everybody else is out there
with you doing it, so like why?
Right?
Yeah, I was the same way.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I did not like it whatsoever, nope yeah, I think
you just have to realize that noone, no one's watching you, no
one cares like, yeah, people are, people care about themselves
yeah so like live life to thefullest and have fun like that's
.
That's what it's about yeah, Ijust feel.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You know people take the comfortable route because
comfort feels good in the moment, you know, but over the time
it's going to steal.
You know everything.
You were meant to become rightlater.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
So yeah, I just, I mean, I always think about you.
Know I think it was an edmylett quote where he was
talking about parents often willtell their kids you can be
anything you want in life.
Or if you work hard, you can dothis, chase your dreams.
And then what happens when yourkid turns around and asks you
well, why aren't you?
(15:03):
And the majority of the timeit's because you chose comfort.
Yep, like, oh, I didn't want tobe judged, or that was
uncomfortable, or that wouldhave been the hard way to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And I don't want you to go that route Right.
So you've got to lean indiscomfort.
You know that's the only wayyou're going to get better man.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, I think.
My last thing I'll add here isthat it's like when you have a
decision to make between acouple things like if you can
sit down and lay it out, and youknow that feeling when you're
like man, this is probably theright thing, but it's so
(15:49):
uncomfortable.
That's the right decision,because when you pick the easier
one, like you'll usually getyou know six months to a year
into it and you're like damn,why didn't I?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What if that's the question you don't want to be
asking.
That's like what I try to avoid.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, the regret later.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I mean, I try to avoid, yeah, the regret later.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
And I have I mean, we all have them.
Yeah, oh yeah, I have them tothis day, man, I think about
them all the time.
But that's, I think that's atopic for a whole nother episode
of how you can beat yourself upover what could have been what
if I would have done this, andbut.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But that also messes with everything else you've run
into in your life too.
And that's with that.
You know, um, just like theback to the future movie, you
can go back in time to fixsomething that fixes everything
else down the road.
So yeah, that'd be anothertopic to talk about.
But yeah, other than that,short and sweet that's it we're
(16:54):
out of here.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Give more impact, better, get uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We'll see you, guys, yeah.
Welcome back to the go all in podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I'm Braxton Cave and I'm Jake Fine Today.

(01:05):
in the routine, um, when youalways choose what's safe, um,
you're paying with yourpotential and you're trading

And that's one of the biggestreasons why.
You know I've done it, I'vebeen stuck before and I feel
like that's many.
You know it's a reason whypeople stay stuck.
(01:26):

build any more business venturesI want to do in the future.
Um, I just I like to challengemyself and I like to get

Um between that, you know,choosing to go to Notre Dame
where I knew academically I wasgoing to be challenged, um where
(11:46):
I could have went to otherschools and it would have been
much easier.
Yeah.
To.
Then, you know, jumping into myprofessional career, business
career of you know, I jumpedinto an industry I didn't know a
damn thing about and, you know,just jumping in, learning,
seeking to understand, beinghumble and knowing that you
(12:07):
don't know everything but youcan learn along the way.
I think there's just been manydifferent things that have come
up that have transformed my lifeand I haven't always picked the
right one.
I think the best decision Iever made was marrying my wife,
you know cause she's, she's beenwith me through all those
(12:28):
phases, pretty much that I justexplained, minus being in sixth
grade, not too far off.
But you know, there's, there'sso many, I think, just along the
journey of life there's so manylittle decisions that you make
that end up having a big impactin the end.
(12:48):
It's typically never like this.
The one yeah thing, right, talkabout like drug addiction, like
no one got into drugs wantingto be a drug addict yeah right,
it was that one time at theparty or the one time here.
Oh, I'll try that it's just one.
Decisions, um, that lead to acompletely different life.
(13:12):
You're always one decision awayfrom a completely different
life, yep.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, I was curious Cause I know you've had.
Yeah, you're, I mean, after youcame out of the NFL, and just
the direction you went, you know, with RV and where you're at
now, it's, I mean, it's justyour story's phenomenal.
I love your story, you know,and just the direction you went,
you know with rv and whereyou're at now it's, I mean, it's
just your story's phenomenal.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I love your story, you know.
It's like any.
What I've noticed is likeanytime I make a decision where
I feel uncomfortable, it'sthat's always the right one.
Yep, yeah.
And then, after you do it,you're like that wasn't so bad.
Yep, yeah, like that.
I remember as a kid like Ihated dancing at weddings, like
the people always like drag meout to the dance floor.
I'm like I don't want to dothis.
And then you get out there, youstart dancing, you're having
(13:59):
fun.
You're like why, why wasn't Iout?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
here the whole time because you feel like you're
gonna be criticized and fun of,but everybody else is out there
with you doing it, so like why?
Right?
Yeah, I was the same way.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I did not like it whatsoever, nope yeah, I think
you just have to realize that noone, no one's watching you, no
one cares like, yeah, people are, people care about themselves
yeah so like live life to thefullest and have fun like that's
.
That's what it's about yeah, Ijust feel.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You know people take the comfortable route because
comfort feels good in the moment, you know, but over the time
it's going to steal.
You know everything.
You were meant to become rightlater.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
So yeah, I just, I mean, I always think about you.
Know I think it was an edmylett quote where he was
talking about parents often willtell their kids you can be
anything you want in life.
Or if you work hard, you can dothis, chase your dreams.
And then what happens when yourkid turns around and asks you
well, why aren't you?
(15:03):
And the majority of the timeit's because you chose comfort.
Yep, like, oh, I didn't want tobe judged, or that was
uncomfortable, or that wouldhave been the hard way to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
And I don't want you to go that route Right.
So you've got to lean indiscomfort.
You know that's the only wayyou're going to get better man.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, I think.
My last thing I'll add here isthat it's like when you have a
decision to make between acouple things like if you can
sit down and lay it out, and youknow that feeling when you're
like man, this is probably theright thing, but it's so
(15:49):
uncomfortable.
That's the right decision,because when you pick the easier
one, like you'll usually getyou know six months to a year
into it and you're like damn,why didn't I?
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What if that's the question you don't want to be
asking.
That's like what I try to avoid.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, the regret later.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I mean, I try to avoid, yeah, the regret later.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
And I have I mean, we all have them.
Yeah, oh yeah, I have them tothis day, man, I think about
them all the time.
But that's, I think that's atopic for a whole nother episode
of how you can beat yourself upover what could have been what
if I would have done this, andbut.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But that also messes with everything else you've run
into in your life too.
And that's with that.
You know, um, just like theback to the future movie, you
can go back in time to fixsomething that fixes everything
else down the road.
So yeah, that'd be anothertopic to talk about.
But yeah, other than that,short and sweet that's it we're
(16:54):
out of here.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Give more impact, better, get uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
We'll see you, guys, yeah.
