What if the hardest part of success isn’t the beginning—but the very end?

In this episode, we explore the idea of “the last 1%”—that final stretch of effort where you’re almost at the goal, but not quite there yet. Inspired by a hiking experience in Patagonia near Mount Fitz Roy, we break down what it feels like to push through exhaustion, uncertainty, and discomfort when the finish line is already in sight.

Most people see the summit, the success, or the highlight moment. But they rarely see the icy, uncertain, mentally exhausting stretch that comes right before it. And that’s exactly where many people choose to stop.

Listen in as we talk about why the final steps often matter the most, how comfort can quietly pull us away from completion, and why finishing strong is what turns “almost there” into “I did it.”
