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.
