Summary

In today’s episode, I talk about why frequency drives every choice I make and how purpose becomes the filter for everything from my work to my relationships. I share why consistency always outperforms sporadic effort and how the extra mile traps so many people in short bursts of motivation. I explain the power of small daily commitments, the way energy accelerates and compounds over time, and what it feels like to live in the empty mile where few people are willing to show up. I also open up about my work with the Unstoppable Foundation and why service anchors everything I do.
