What happens when your guest cancels and your co-hosts go completely off-script? You get one of the most raw, hilarious, and unexpectedly powerful episodes of The MCP Project yet.
Marisa Padilla is joined by her partner Josh Holder and Producer WIGNZ for a no-holds-barred conversation about goals, discipline, mental toughness, and the 75 Hard challenge—and yes, there are plenty of laughs (and bloopers) along the way.
From botched intros and behind-the-scenes chaos to deep insights on self-accountability, habit-building, and staying consistent even when no one’s watching—this episode is part motivation, part comedy, and fully real.
💥 Topics covered:
75 Hard breakdown (and who’s already failed 😂)
The myth of "starting tomorrow"
Why most people lie to themselves
How goals are tied to purpose
Holding yourself accountable when no one’s clapping
Mental toughness, hydration struggles, and how to “suck less”
What it really takes to win in life
This episode is totally unfiltered—and that’s exactly the point.
