Most people think weakness is beaten with motivation. It’s not. Weakness is eliminated with standards. After years on Wall Street and building businesses, I learned the hard way that comfort kills more dreams than failure ever will. The people who break through don’t feel their way forward. They enforce rules on themselves.

In this raw episode, I break down eight brutal truths most people need to hear. Why motivation doesn’t kill weakness but standards do. Why your inner circle will either save or sabotage your life. Why confidence comes after action, not before. And why setting goals you never fully reach is one of the most unfair advantages in life. You’ll also learn why elite performance requires being a little unhinged, why you get paid to practice not perform, and why winners aren’t special, they’re obsessed with proving themselves.

This isn’t theory. It’s applied psychology backed by real research and hard lessons. From self-control predicting success more than IQ to social circles shaping outcomes, this episode will change how you think about discipline, standards, and what it actually takes to kill weakness for good.
