The Dark Side of Positive Thinking (No One Talks About This) | Ep. 095
"When everything gets reframed, nothing gets felt."
— Ethan King
In this eye-opening episode of King Moves, Ethan and Justin unpack the uncomfortable truth behind a habit that’s praised in self-help circles but quietly sabotaging your growth: chronic reframing.
When every challenge is spun into a lesson, when every failure is dressed up in silver linings, you lose the ability to feel what’s real. That disconnect can kill your clarity, numb your leadership instincts, and break the trust of those around you.
This episode isn’t anti-positivity—it’s anti-bullsh*t.
Because if you’re always trying to reframe the pain, you’re not processing it. You’re performing. And eventually, that catches up with you.
What you will learn in this episode:
How to recognize when positivity becomes emotional avoidance
How to stop using optimism as a mask
How to “sit in the mud” with yourself and others without sinking
How to embrace a neutral mindset that drives real decisions
How to build emotional depth as a leader and coach
Questions answered:
Can too much positivity hurt your leadership?
Why do high performers struggle to sit with hard emotions?
What’s the difference between mindset work and emotional bypassing?
How can you support others without rushing to fix or reframe?

The Dangerous Lie About Hard Work | Ep. 094
Is hustle without mastery just wasted motion?
You show up. You grind. You hustle.
But what if none of that is moving the needle because your effort isn’t effective?
In this episode of King Moves, Ethan and Justin unpack a powerful insight from a world-class speaker who built a literal Ninja Warrior rig on stage to make a point: practice alone is ineffective if you aren't practicing the right moves.
They challenge the myth that more reps automatically lead to better results, and reveal how minor technical tweaks—whether in athletics, business, or public speaking—can unlock explosive momentum.
If you’ve been stuck in the loop of “doing the work” but seeing no progress, this episode will force you to reevaluate your approach.
What you will learn in this episode
How to spot the difference between effort and effective effort
How to level up your results through small technical adjustments
How to avoid the trap of practicing the wrong thing
How to make your message unforgettable using metaphor and props
How to surround yourself with people who’ve “paid the school fees” so you don’t have to
Questions answered
What’s the hidden danger of “just doing the work”?
How do elite performers approach daily practice differently?
What makes a speaking performance not just good—but unforgettable?
How can props enhance a message rather than distract from it?
