Most people hit the holidays and coast. They loosen their standards, drift from routines, and tell themselves they'll "get serious in January." Not you. Not here. Not in the No Days Off Nation.

In this episode, Brian breaks down one of the most powerful performance windows of the year—Separation Season, a concept borrowed from Ed Mylett and sharpened through years of real-world application. This is the final stretch where high performers create distance: from competitors, from excuses, and from the older version of themselves.

Brian walks through how separation applies across every domain -- health, finances, relationships, personal growth, and business -- and shows why the next 45 days carry disproportionate leverage for anyone serious about building momentum. While the world sleepwalks, you get intentional. While they stall, you stack wins. While they're making holiday excuses, you're building your 2025 foundation.

This isn't about grinding yourself into the ground. It's about discipline when others drift. Focus when others fade. Clarity when others coast.
