Are You Willing to Do What Others Won’t?

In this episode, I’m joined by champions in their fields—Troy Aikman, James Lawrence, and Mike O'Hearn—as we unpack the mindset, habits, and sacrifices required to achieve your most ambitious goals. These aren’t just stories of talent and opportunity; they’re lessons in grit, focus, and relentless execution.

Troy Aikman reveals the mindset that helped him not just win one Super Bowl but repeat that success—a hunger that never faded and a discipline that still drives him today. He shares how relief often outweighs euphoria after achieving a monumental goal, and why showing up consistently matters more than raw talent.

James Lawrence, famously known as the "Iron Cowboy," shares the brutal yet inspiring reality of pushing through 100 consecutive Ironman triathlons. He opens up about walking through physical pain, the power of mental resilience, and how vulnerability and trusting his team were the keys to finishing the seemingly impossible.

Mike O'Hearn takes us inside his world of relentless discipline, where every meal, every workout, and every moment is a commitment to excellence. He reminds us that true champions don’t measure themselves against others—they measure themselves against their own potential.
