Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore Pablo Picasso’s famous line: “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” We unpack why true creativity isn’t random rebellion but informed deviation—mastering structure first gives you the power to bend, shatter, or reinvent it with purpose and impact.

Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we unpack **Principle 3: The Zero-Sum Environment**—where your surroundings can turn success into a rigged game, no matter how much you build if the people around you are quietly dismantling it. Drawing from Anthony Kim's dramatic golf comeback, we explore how his old circle of "yes-men" and opportunists created a toxic, zero-sum ecosystem that fed off his success until he lost everything and vanished for over a decade. Battling injuries, add...
Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we unpack Principle 2: Fundamentals Over Flair—no amount of natural talent excuses skipping relentless attention to detail. Anthony Kim once had the world's most effortless, "God-given" swing, relying on mental shortcuts and raw flair that dazzled fans. But when injuries struck and his body broke down, that talent had no solid base to stand on, crumbling his career for over a decade amid addiction and setbacks. His stunning comeback? Not mag...
Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore Principle 1: The Internal Scoreboard—how chasing external validation crushes passion, while internal growth reignites it. Most chase approval from crowds, sponsors, or rankings, but that weight leads to burnout. Anthony Kim's story flips the script: after years away battling injuries, addiction, and a massive insurance payout that tied him to retirement, he returned on LIV Golf. His 2026 Adelaide triumph—a stunning final-round 63 t...
Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore how athletes can conquer early-season fear of failure by borrowing a powerful mindset from high-stakes poker: separate the quality of your decision from the quality of the outcome. Just like a pro poker player staring down a massive pot with life-changing money on the line, athletes often dread bad luck or variance derailing their hard work—but the best players ask only one thing after any hand: given what I knew at the time, did I...

Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, I share a wild teenage story of turning a small house hangout into an uncontrollable 200-300 person rager—complete with a Craigslist-fueled heist that stole jewelry, including my dad's Rolex—after I foolishly put a friend on the door instead of guarding it myself. It's the perfect metaphor for life: your mind is the house, attention is the door, and you have to be the strict bouncer. Let in the wrong influences—people, habits, media—and chaos...
Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, I dive into the powerful metaphor that so many chase the butterfly life—freedom, beauty, success—without embracing the gritty caterpillar season of struggle, failure, falling flat, and doing the unglamorous work (shoveling poop, as I put it). The truth is, transformation demands enduring that uncomfortable, low-status phase where progress feels slow and invisible. The real question becomes: how do you actually bring more enthusiasm, energy, a...
Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, after years in performance coaching, the host challenges the popular mantra of "process over outcome," calling traditional process goals—vague ideas like "stay aggressive"—largely ineffective. Instead, he advocates for proximal goals that are immediate, actionable in the very moment, and fully diagnostic (clear yes/no measurability). Using a baseball hitter example, he explains shifting from broad mentality to precise, present-tense targets l...
Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore why overly clever systems often fail in the real world—because we chase certainty when adaptability is what truly wins. Discover how the best leaders aren't rigid planners, but those who spot failing strategies fastest, preload the predictable to free their focus, and pivot instantly to the unexpected for lasting success.

Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore the hidden dynamics of feedback loops in our minds and systems: how long loops lead to mode bleed and eventual anergy, while short loops deliver sharp mode clarity and peak efficiency. We’ll break down why mixing modes sparks confusion, and how intelligently sequencing them—guided by the Larry Principle—unlocks superior performance in work, habits, and life.

Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore why copying others often leads to losing your edge—it's not just the act, but the lazy thought process behind it that stifles true innovation. Learn how asking yourself the right questions can spark original ideas and keep you ahead in a world full of shortcuts.

Send a text In today's episode of the Daily Drive, explore the transformative power of shifting from a scarcity to an abundance mindset—not just in wealth, but in how we approach opportunities, competition, and personal growth. Drawing from real-life examples in sports like baseball, the host challenges the notion that conditions must be perfect for success, urging listeners to embrace failures as rich sources of learning. By focusing on abundant growth through controllable efforts, you'll re...
