097: Doing the Hard Thing
Description
Lots of guys are wired to push—at work, in training, and for your family. But the real challenge isn’t pushing harder… it’s knowing when to pause.
In this episode, we unpack what it actually means to do the hard thing as a high-performing man. It’s not just finishing a Spartan race. It’s staying calm with your kids. It’s being present at a family event you’d rather skip. It’s learning how to quiet the part of you that always wants to go.
Highlights:
- Why the “grind” mindset stops working at home
- The difference between achievement and presence
- A client’s insight on what’s really hard as a dad
- How to access the calm, grounded version of yourself
- A guided 5-minute practice you can use anytime
Take Action:
Try the meditation. It’s 5 minutes. It could change how you show up tonight at dinner.
