In this episode, we reveal the only habit that consistently separates top performers from the rest—and it's not talent, intelligence, or even connections.
It’s delayed gratification.
🎓 You’ll learn:
The surprising science behind the Marshmallow Test and why it still matters today
Why resisting short-term pleasure is the true flex in a dopamine-flooded world
The #1 strategy to outpace 99% of people—even if you're starting from scratch
How to rewire your brain for patience using micro-commitments, friction design, and future-facing rewards
This episode isn’t about discipline for discipline’s sake—it’s about creating a life you actually want by choosing what matters over what’s easy.
🎧 Hit play now, and learn how to delay gratification without feeling like you're “missing out.”
