    Ep. 71 Stop Being Consistent

    In this episode Matt (@redwolfmatt) talks about how people often say "be consistent" like it's always a good thing. But he thinks it's not enough just to do something over and over. He tells a story about someone who thought they were doing everything right but wasn’t getting better. Matt explains that just doing things a lot doesn't mean you're doing them well.He introduces a new word, "cadence," which means doing the right things, the right way, at the right time, and for the right amount of time. It's like having a good rhythm in what you do, not just doing it a lot. Matt believes having a coach can help you find your cadence and do things better, not just more often. He ends by saying understanding the truth about ourselves helps us grow and get better.
