Episode notes
We live in a culture obsessed with overnight results: cold plunges, extremes, “no days off,” shiny habits, and dopamine-driven motivation.
But almost anyone can burn bright for a few days.
Very few can burn bright for years.
Sustainable excellence isn’t about intensity — it’s about identity.
Not about spikes — but about steady loops of progress.
Not about performing your effort — but living it.
When you shift from “be the best” to “be the best at getting better,” everything changes.
You stop chasing finish lines and start building a life where mastery compounds quietly.
This is the real flex.
This is what lasts.
