Summary

In today’s episode, I share how faith alone isn’t enough to move us forward without intention and disciplined action. I talk about how comfort can become interference, why small consistent habits protect our purpose, and how non-negotiable behaviors like sleep, movement, and family create a foundation for growth. I explain why faith should be the predisposition and intention the disposition—the driving force that turns belief into aligned action. Through stories of resilience, accountability, and divine timing, I show how lowering the bar, stacking wins, and choosing meaning over fear can reveal progress even when there’s no evidence it’s possible.

0:53.2	And it clicked in my head.
0:54.8	I'm like, shit, I got 15 minutes between coaching calls.
0:58.9	Why don't I see how much I can clean out of this credenza?
