Description

You're stuck not because life is hard, but because you expect it to be easy.


In this episode, Itamar shares a brutal mindset shift learned in Special Forces: want things to be hard. When obstacles feel personal, we shrink. When they feel purposeful, we level up.


Topics covered:

  • Why short-term goals can hurt your performance
  • When ego helps performance and when it stunts it
  • The shift from “proving something” to “becoming someone”


Hard isn’t the problem. Your relationship with it is.
