In this episode, we dive deep into the power of goal setting: why it matters, why most people fall short, and how you can do it differently. We break down the difference between goals and dreams, what makes a goal truly effective (hint: it’s more than just writing it down), and how to reverse engineer your big ambitions into daily action steps.

You’ll learn:

• The SMART framework and why clarity is king

• How to define your personal “minimums” to raise your standards

• Why process-oriented goals often outperform outcome-based ones

• How to build in accountability and keep your goals visible and actionable

Whether you're setting goals for business, health, or personal growth, this episode gives you a practical, no-fluff roadmap to follow.

In this episode, we explore the problematic stance on discipline by modern self-help gurus who tell you to do be disciplined without any actual implementable steps. We explore how to identify your goals, align your actions, and take control of your state through your body, environment, and focus. Learn how small, consistent daily habits build lasting discipline, and why fitness is the perfect training ground to develop this skill. It's not about perfection, it's about the process.

In this introductory episode, we explore the ancient Greek concept of Arete - the pursuit of excellence especially in the areas of health, wealth, relationships and ethos. For each area we discuss one problem we faced and how we were able to overcome it.
