Deep dives
Showing up is not enough
The podcast challenges the notion that showing up is half the battle. The speaker argues that people often want recognition and reward for simply doing what they're supposed to be doing like showing up, practicing, or getting results. Merely showing up is not sufficient for success. The speaker gives a personal example of searching for a suitable location for the podcast recording, despite being offered a penthouse suite that did not meet their requirements. This story exemplifies the speaker's belief that caring about details and going the extra mile is crucial in achieving success.
The cost of winning
The podcast delves into the personal sacrifices and costs associated with winning and achieving greatness. The speaker shares a touching story about their daughter asking them why they travel so much, and how they explained it was to provide for the family. The speaker acknowledges that winning often comes at a high cost, and they were aware of the consequences and sacrifices they had to make along the way. Despite missing important family events, the speaker's daughter understood and appreciated the sacrifices made. The speaker emphasizes that the price of regret is even higher than the cost of winning, urging listeners to make the toughest decisions for long-term success and to break the cycle of regret for future generations.
‘Showing up is half the battle’, how often have you heard this phrase these days? According to Tim Grover, trainer to some of the most iconic athletes ever, showing up is NONE of the battle.

However, if you think the price of winning is too high, Tim says that the bill of regret is even higher and can take generations to pay off.
