Summary
This episode started with a conversation about the Olympics. When an athlete wins bronze instead of gold, the interviews can feel almost disappointing… like anything less than first place is failure.
And that mindset shows up everywhere in life.
In health. In business. In relationships.
If you didn't dominate, you feel like you lost.
Craig and I break down the fine line between having high expectations and destroying yourself when you fall short. How do you stay competitive and driven… while still respecting solid effort?
Because here's the standard:
Attitude and effort are the expectation.
Not perfection. Not gold every time.
Between my experience coaching thousands of clients and Craig's clinical therapy background, we help you find that balance so you can push hard, stay grounded, and keep moving forward.
If you're wired to win, this one is for you.
