Avoiding conflict doesn’t create safety, it creates chaos.In this episode, I tell a story from my early teaching career and explain the difference between honest anger and loss of control. When adults communicate clearly even with intensity kids feel safer, more regulated, and more trusting.This conversation reframes anger, authority, and what real leadership looks like.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://workwithjoshterry.com/

Men are taught to think relationships are about effort. They’re not. They’re about results.In this episode, I explain why women are far more results-oriented than most men realize and why trying harder often makes things worse, not better. We talk about:Why effort alone doesn’t create attraction or stabilityHow women evaluate value differently than men expectThe mistake men make when they try to follow “recipes”How to improve relationships without sacrificing your driveThis is about leadership, clarity, and solving the right problems — in relationships and in life.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://workwithjoshterry.com/

Most capable people don’t fail because they don’t try hard enough. They fail because they’re attached to an image of who they think they should be.In this episode, I break down why letting go of unrealistic expectations is one of the most painful and powerful things a person can do. When you stop forcing yourself to perform at a level you’re not ready for, clarity appears.Action becomes possible. Momentum follows. This is how real growth happens.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://workwithjoshterry.com/

Burnout doesn’t come from laziness. It comes from overestimating your daily capacity and failing every day.Most people set goals that exceed reality, fall short, and slowly lose confidence. Do this long enough and it turns into depression.In this episode, I explain:• Why stretching yourself daily backfires• How to correctly assess effort and capacity• Why smaller containers produce bigger wins• How to build momentum without burnoutThis is for high performers who are tired of “trying harder” and getting worse results.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go tohttps://workwithjoshterry.com/

Most people are exhausted because they’re trying to do everything. In this episode, we talk about why doing less is the fastest way to get real results and why elimination, simplicity, and buffer zones are the foundation of sustainable success. You’ll learn:Why more effort often leads to less progressHow simplifying your life increases performanceWhy clarity beats intensityHow to stop confusing hard work with meaningful workThis is a conversation about building a life that actually works.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go tohttps://workwithjoshterry.com/

Perfectionism doesn’t show up when you’re almost done. It shows up before you even start.If you’re stuck tweaking, planning, overthinking, or waiting until things feel “right,” this episode explains exactly why and how to move forward without forcing motivation or burning yourself out.Most people think perfectionism is about caring too much. In reality, it’s about trying to decide what you *should* do instead of asking what you "can" do.Creators, founders, artists, and high performers get stuck when vision turns into "should." That’s when action dies.In this episode, I break down:• Why perfectionism blocks action before execution even begins  • The difference between ideation and experimentation  • Why great musicians, artists, and founders don’t chase perfect  • How to move from suffering-through to enjoying-the-process  • Why mastery starts when you stop forcing outcomes  Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://apply.joshterryplays.com

Confidence doesn’t come from motivation or self-talk.It comes from being realistic about who you are and where you’re going. Most people feel low confidence not because they’re weak but because their ego is attached to the wrong wins. In this episode, we cover:Why confidence is created through realismThe misunderstood role of ego and humilityHow perfectionism creates procrastinationWhy “perfect” is too big to executeHow small, meaningful steps rebuild confidenceThe real cycle of clarity → confidence → actionIf you feel capable but stuck, driven but unable to move then this episode will help recalibrate you.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://apply.joshterryplays.com

High performers don’t struggle with laziness, they struggle with overtraining. In business, content creation, leadership, or performance, it’s almost impossible to spot when you’ve crossed from productive discomfort into cognitive damage. This episode breaks down how elite performers accidentally sabotage their results by pushing too hard, and why doing less (strategically) leads to bigger outcomes. If your default is “try harder,” this will completely reframe your approach.Follow me on my socials:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshterryplaysFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshterryplays/X: https://x.com/joshterryplaysTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCOLdtkK1XqV6ikuHUqfetnQTo work with Josh Terry go to https://apply.joshterryplays.com

Every stage of growth demands stronger boundaries and every boundary you set gets tested by the success it creates.Dating → stop being needy → attention increases → boundaries get tested.Business → niche down → demand rises → you must say no.Nations → freedom → prosperity → new moral debates.Boundaries aren’t walls.
