You don’t need more willpower—you need a better engine.
In this episode, I’m calling out the lie that high achievers live by: that discipline alone is enough. It’s not. Because willpower fades. And when it does, most of us blame ourselves instead of upgrading the system that was never built to last.
Inside:
Why willpower is adrenaline (and why that’s a problem)
What a real resilience system looks like
How attention leaks sabotage momentum
The spark → intention → system framework that helps you rise with strategy
If you’ve been muscling through your days and wondering why you still feel off—this one’s for you.
It’s not about motivation. It’s about building something that sustains you.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
