Summary
Topics include:
- Meeting yourself where you are and taking realistic action in that current space.
(14:20) "It’s hard to accept where you’re at, but if you don’t, you never grow because you’ll be starting on a fragile foundation that will break."
(16:15) “We all want to grow and be better. It’s compounded by the fact that the place where many people go to compare themselves is a bunch of airbrushed bullshit.”
- How to ingrain patience and love of the process to your children.
(17:45) “Do what you can to keep it fun and try to mold a growth and process mindset.”
- How to be a "good enough" parent.
(27:00) “The ‘good enough’ parent creates a holding space for the kid to develop and if the kid steps out of that space, nudges them back into it.”
- How to apply the 'good enough' principle to your own goals.
(27:30) “Adopting a ‘good enough’ approach to your own pursuits is, ‘How do I create the environment for me to thrive without holding too tightly and also without being too loose?"
- Insights on solo quest vs. leveraging community in any endeavor.
(24:15) “You might lose some specificity, but you gain so much more."
This is a conversation for anyone seeking sustainable and successful performance with a long-term healthy lens.
