In this episode, Jake shares a raw story from a grueling workout where the urge to cut corners crept in - and what that revealed about integrity. The temptation to cheat doesn’t vanish with age, experience, or success; it follows us into the gym, the office, and our daily lives.

Jake unpacks how those private shortcuts shape the character we display in public and why the most dangerous opponent we face is the voice inside that whispers, “Just this once.” You’ll walk away with a simple challenge to catch yourself mid-shortcut and choose the competitor you want to become.
