Summary

Most people don't struggle because they don't know what to do—they struggle because they keep negotiating with themselves. In this episode, Bob Stewart and Chad Hyams break down why internal negotiation quietly erodes discipline, momentum, and self-trust. You'll learn how high performers eliminate decision friction, set standards instead of relying on motivation, and build consistency that actually lasts.
