129 - Rising to Your Potential - How To Transform Belief Into Achievement

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about potential—not the kind people talk about in vague, feel-good quotes—but the kind that sits deep in your gut and makes you wonder: What if I actually went after it? What if I stopped waiting and started working?

In this solo episode, I share stories that have lit a fire under me recently—like Cameron Hanes running 250 miles with a broken foot, David Goggins’ wild transformation, and how Stoic philosophers like Epictetus teach us to stop making excuses and own our response to life.

I also talk about my own journey—from the kid who used to binge frozen chimichangas after school (yes, Fat Brett was real) to someone trying to show up every day with discipline, consistency, and purpose.

Here’s what we cover:

• What it actually means to live up to your potential
• Why discipline beats motivation every time
• How small, daily goals create massive change over time
• Dealing with self-doubt and fear (and why they’re not going away)
• The importance of surrounding yourself with people who see you
• And why you don’t need to wait for the “perfect moment” to start—because it’s never coming

If you’ve been coasting, playing small, or doubting what you’re capable of—I hope this episode snaps you out of it.

Because you’re capable of a hell of a lot more than you think.

Let’s stop waiting. Let’s start getting after it.
