Are you grinding so hard that you’re sabotaging your own success?

In this powerful episode of King Moves, Justin shares the mental and physical lessons behind running 10 marathons in 10 days—and why pushing to your limit every day is the wrong move.

Ethan draws the parallel to business, where most leaders are stuck redlining, mistaking constant hustle for real preparation.

Together, they break down how to stay ready without wrecking yourself. If you want to win the game, you have to stop treating every practice like the Super Bowl. The real power move? Learn when to pull back, build your infrastructure, and trust your preparation.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • How to prepare for big challenges without burning out

  • How to build infrastructure that scales with opportunity

  • How to mentally rehearse success through visualization

  • How to use “preemptive practice” to make execution feel effortless

  • How to lean on your support system when it really counts
