Hey friends, welcome back to Find the Joy with Jenn. I'm so glad you're here today.

Dr. Jason Williams is the founder and CEO of Ironclad Underwriting, where he helps investors simplify and strengthen multifamily deal analysis. With a background as a PhD-level chemical engineer, Jason brings a systems-based approach to underwriting, having transitioned from single-family rentals to large-scale multifamily syndications. He now teaches investors how to build smarter models, avoid costly assumptions, and raise their underwriting IQ.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Jason transitioned from engineering to real estate, bringing over 15 years of data analysis experience into underwriting. Many investors make critical underwriting mistakes by misunderstanding Excel models or relying too heavily on templates without verification. His Ironclad Underwriting model is built for flexibility and clarity, especially helpful when dealing with creative financing. He emphasizes third-party validation for all assumptions—especially from stakeholders who will be executing the plan. Property management can make or break a deal. Vet thoroughly and don't underestimate their impact.     Topics From PhD to Real Estate Pro Jason started investing in 2003 while in grad school and held rentals throughout his career. In 2017, he discovered syndications through Joe Fairless and began scaling into larger multifamily deals. After being laid off, he used the opportunity to go full-time into real estate. Underwriting with Precision Took his R&D background to build underwriting models that minimize user error and reduce complexity. Developed Ironclad Underwriting to “dumb down” deal data without compromising accuracy. Emphasizes that many common models can be broken easily—triple dipping rent bumps, broken formulas, or overwritten cells. Common Mistakes Investors Make Trusting broker/owner numbers without verification. Over-projecting rent growth based on temporary trends. Blindly following a coach or a guru's assumptions without understanding the logic. Using inherited underwriting models that have dead or disconnected cells. How to Use an Underwriting Model the Right Way Breaks rent data into: current, property management estimate, and pro forma rent. Encourages using third-party consultants for accurate insurance, taxes, and property management costs. Property managers must be part of the business plan validation process. Navigating the Market Cycle Expects a wave of opportunities as more owners face distress or pre-foreclosure. Believes creative financing will play a larger role—models must be able to handle these deal structures. Warns that relying on outdated assumptions or models not built for flexibility can lead to catastrophic results.    

Most entrepreneurs think they need a new growth strategy. What they actually need is a better relationship with themselves.   In this episode, the tables turn as Sarah Lockwood, the founder of HiveCast, interviews Alex Raymond about the upcoming Conscious Entrepreneur Summit, happening May 28–29 in Boulder, Colorado. Now in its fourth year, the summit offers something most business events miss entirely: a chance to work on the person behind the company.   Alex shares how the idea for the summit came from countless conversations where founders showed up to talk about strategy but ended up revealing stress, fear, and self-doubt. What if those internal struggles are actually the bottleneck in your business? And what would happen if you had space to name them, examine them, and move through them?   This year's summit features Dr. Benjamin Hardy, the author of 10x is Easier Than 2x, leading a small-group workshop on the psychology of exponential thinking. Dr. Michael Freeman, a leading voice in entrepreneur mental health research, will speak on how entrepreneurship can become a path for deep personal growth.   Sarah and Alex also talk about what makes this event feel so different. The connections are real. The conversations go deep quickly. And the room is full of people who are serious about growth, not just in revenue, but in clarity, confidence, and capacity.   If you're the kind of founder who wants to scale your business without losing yourself in the process, The 2025 Conscious Entrepreneur Summit might be exactly what you've been looking for.

In this special Book Club episode, Kathryn and Michael discuss the book "The Gap and The Gain: The High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success" by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy. They focus on the concept of measuring progress, either by focusing on what hasn't been achieved (the gap) or recognizing how far one has come (the gain). Michael highlights the dangers of the gap, such as increased stress and self-doubt, which can lead to burnout and emptiness. He emphasizes the importance of measuring progress against one's own achievements rather than comparing to others or ideal goals. The discussion aims to help listeners shift their mindset from focusing on what's missing to celebrating their accomplishments. The conversation ends with a discussion on reframing failure as a gain and strategies for maintaining a gain-focused mindset, as well as a recommendation for a version of the book with the authors' commentary.

Part 1 The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan Summary"The Gap and The Gain" by Dan Sullivan, co-written with Benjamin Hardy, presents a transformative mindset concept that emphasizes the importance of perspective in personal and professional development. The book focuses on two distinct mental frameworks: the 'Gap' and the 'Gain.' Key Concepts:The Gap: The 'Gap' refers to the mindset where individuals focus on their current situation compared to their ideal or future goals. This perspective often leads to feelings of inadequacy, disappointment, and frustration because it emphasizes unmet aspirations and what is lacking in one's life or progress. By measuring themselves against future goals, people tend to overlook their achievements and growth, leading to a negative and defeatist attitude.The Gain: Contrarily, the 'Gain' is the mindset that encourages individuals to measure their progress relative to where they started. This perspective promotes gratitude and acknowledgment of personal growth, triumphs, and achievements, no matter how small they may seem. It fosters a positive outlook by recognizing how far one has come rather than fixating on how far one still has to go. Practical Applications:The authors stress the importance of switching from the 'Gap' to the 'Gain' to cultivate a more fulfilling life and achieve personal growth. This can be done through practices such as journaling about accomplishments, reflecting on past successes, and regularly evaluating progress based on one's journey rather than just goals.The book also includes various strategies and exercises to help readers shift their focus and develop a habit of recognizing their own achievements and growth. Overall Message:"+The Gap and The Gain" advocates for a mindset shift that prioritizes gratitude and self-acknowledgment over unrealistic comparisons and expectations. By embracing the 'Gain' perspective, individuals can enhance their confidence, motivation, and overall happiness, leading to greater success and fulfillment in life.Part 2 The Gap and The Gain AuthorDan Sullivan is a renowned entrepreneur and coach, best known for his work in personal and business development. He is the founder of Strategic Coach, a coaching program for entrepreneurs that has helped thousands of business leaders improve their skills and mindset. The Gap and The GainRelease Date: "The Gap and The Gain" was released in 2021. The book focuses on how individuals can shift their mindset to focus on progress and gain rather than gaps, helping them to achieve greater satisfaction and success.

Episode 1635: Benjamin Hardy challenges the conventional wisdom of "following your passion," arguing that mastery, success, and happiness come from developing rare and valuable skills rather than chasing preexisting interests. Drawing from Cal Newport's So Good They Can't Ignore You, Hardy explains that confidence and passion are byproducts of excellence, not prerequisites. By continuously investing in yourself, building meaningful relationships, and generously applying your skills to help others, you not only achieve financial success but also cultivate a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment.

He explained that even close loved ones and friends often don't fully understand the challenges entrepreneurs face, which can make the journey isolating. What's your favourite business book that has helped you the most? Terence Tam's favorite business book that has helped him the most is Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy.

Most entrepreneurs play it safe with their goals, but Dr. Benjamin Hardy makes a bold case: setting “impossible” goals is the fastest way to scale. Is aiming for something that feels out of reach exactly what forces clarity, focus, and exponential growth?   In this episode, Alex Raymond sits down with Dr. Hardy, an organizational psychologist and bestselling author, to discuss the mindset shift behind 10X growth. Why do so many entrepreneurs stay stuck in slow, incremental progress? According to Dr. Hardy, the problem isn't effort. It's the way we set goals. Most people aim for what feels achievable, which keeps them trapped in the same patterns. A true 10X goal demands a different way of thinking, working, and making decisions.   The discussion touches on why scaling requires accountability and brutal honesty. Dr. Hardy introduces a game-changing concept called “raising the floor,” eliminating distractions, letting go of tasks that don't drive results, and narrowing your focus to what truly moves the needle. He also explains why urgency matters. A distant, 10-year goal won't push you to make bold moves today, but setting a 3-year deadline forces better decisions and a clearer path forward.   Along the way, Dr. Hardy shares examples of entrepreneurs who made massive leaps by shifting their focus. He also previews his upcoming workshop at the Conscious Entrepreneur Summit in Boulder, Colorado, where he'll break down the science of scaling and help attendees build a strategy for exponential success.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction  03:33 Challenges in Scaling for Entrepreneurs 04:05 Systems Dynamics and Business Goals 06:13 Accountability and Economic Models 08:27 Raising the Floor Concept 09:20 Selective Attention and Goal Framing 11:05 Strategy and Eliminating Non-viable Options 12:45 Time as a Strategic Tool 14:52 Future-Driven Decision Making 17:54 Avoiding Distractions and Making Hard Decisions 19:03 Self-Honesty and Ambition to Scale 23:49 Personal Story: Overcoming Sunk Cost Fallacy 26:03 Letting the Future Drive the Present 28:42 Identity and Entrepreneurial Growth 30:13 Practical Steps to Create a Bigger Vision 35:44 Specializing and Focusing on a Niche 41:08 Preview of Conscious Entrepreneur Summit   Links Connect with Benjamin Hardy: Website: https://www.benjaminhardy.com/   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://amplifyam.com/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

Why is it that over 50% of people want to start a business–but only 7% actually do? What sets apart the wannabes from the successful entrepreneurs? In the newest episode of Euphoric the Podcast, I dive into the groundbreaking research of organizational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy, who is also the bestselling author of Be Your Future Self Now and 10x is Easier Than 2x. His thesis, Does It Take Courage to Start a Business?, reveals some surprising truths: like why some people get stuck in the “wannabe” entrepreneurial stage. What holds them back? The single biggest difference between those who dream and those who do? The Point of No Return. Just like a plane that's reached takeoff speed on the runway, once you hit this point, there's no turning back. This is the moment when an entrepreneur goes ALL in and commits - they invest in the certification or business program, invest in a ton of product, or quit their job. What's YOUR point of no return?  The episode dives into other attributes that sets successful entrepreneurs apart, including their values, what kind of mentorship they get, and how men and women do it differently.  IN THIS EPISODE: The point of “no return” and why a significant investment in your business is the ultimate game-changer, propelling you from dreamer to doer Why successful entrepreneurs think differently about uncertainty — and how to rewire your mindset to do the same How working with a coach skyrockets your motivation and courage, transforming your business dreams into reality The surprising truth about how long it actually takes to go from wanting a business to launching one (and how to speed up the process) Why more men start businesses than women, and how to break through the hesitation that may be keeping you stuck in the “wannabe” phase   LINKS/RESOURCES MENTIONED Check out my FREE masterclass, How I Became a Highly Profitable Thought Leader While Traveling the World (and You Can Too) on March 5 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.

I had an incredible conversation with real estate investor and entrepreneur Greg Dickerson, who shared wealth insights every physician-entrepreneur needs to hear. Greg has built and scaled multiple businesses, invested in real estate, and guided companies—including my own—to seven and eight-figure growth. We dive into leadership, delegation, and the mindset shifts that help physicians transition from high-income earners to true wealth builders. Greg explains why many doctors struggle to step away from hands-on roles and how to build systems that run smoothly without you. If you're wondering how to scale your practice, invest wisely, or create financial freedom beyond medicine, this episode is for you. “In business, you have to allow people to make decisions and mistakes so they can learn from them and grow.”~ Greg DickersonIn This Episode:- Introducing Greg Dickerson- How Greg scaled his business fast - Essential leadership skills for physicians - How doctors can 10x their practice and investments- The importance of communication skills in entrepreneurshipCheck out the full episode on https://vikramraya.com/episode16/Resources:Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0867ZJ151 ➡️ Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator - https://limitless-md.mn.co/ ➡️ Check out my programs - https://vikramraya.com/coaching-tab-revamp/ ➡️ Apply to become a Limitless MD - www.I8mastermind.comConnect with Greg Dickerson:Website: https://www.dickersoninternational.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/agregdickerson Connect with Vikram:Website: https://vikramraya.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vikramraya/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VikramrayamdLinkedIn: https://www.instagram.com/vikramraya/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdq9M-kD0L2hy1UlfOK-hwQSpecial Thank You to Music Provided by Music Library: https://soundcloud.com/music-library-non-copyrighted-sounds/300-violin-orchestra-jorge-quintero-copyright-and-royalty-free

Send us a textLife in medicine is intense right now, especially in early 2025. In this episode, we're diving into six essential elements that can help us not just survive, but thrive during challenging times. Whether you're looking to join our Unbound physician community or just trying to figure out how to make medicine work better in your life, these are game-changers.The Big Six (Yes, They Really Matter!)Community When things go sideways (like that wild HR story we share in this episode), having people who get it makes all the difference. Sometimes only another doctor understands why that "simple work issue" feels like a punch to the gut. Having folks who truly get it isn't just nice - it's necessary.Compassion Time to stop beating ourselves up! Taking a sick day, not answering all 40 questions in a 15-minute visit, or setting a boundary doesn't make us bad doctors. What if we treated ourselves with the same compassion we show our patients?Safety We need spaces where we can say "I'm struggling" or "I don't know" without fear. Where we can share those thoughts that would make non-medical friends gasp but make our colleagues nod in understanding. That psychological safety? It's pure gold.Structure Okay, not the sexiest word, but hear me out! Even as smart, capable physicians, we need a game plan for making changes stick. It's like having a GPS for getting from "I should really start setting boundaries" to "Look at me leaving on time!"Accountability Isn't it wild how we're incredibly accountable to everyone else but struggle to keep promises to ourselves? Whether it's finally getting home for dinner or not charting until midnight, having someone in our corner makes a huge difference.Reflection Not the "om" kind (unless that's your thing!) - but taking honest looks at our progress. Instead of focusing on how far we still have to go, what if we celebrated how far we've come? Game-changing perspective shift right there.Why This Matters NowThese aren't just nice ideas - they're your toolkit for:Finding joy in medicine againCreating a life that doesn't revolve around your inboxBuilding the career you actually wantTaking care of yourself (for real this time!)Want to Dive Deeper?Grab "The Gap Versus the Gain" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan SullivanReady for more?

Episode 1600 Benjamin Hardy explores the common mistake of prioritizing external achievements, such as status, wealth, and approval over internal fulfillment. Many people chase conventional success only to find it unfulfilling because it's not aligned with their core values and passions. True success comes from defining it on your own terms and pursuing what brings genuine meaning to your life.

"Success that isn't aligned with your values and passions feels hollow, no matter how impressive it looks from the outside."

Negativity and gratitude cannot coexist. In this episode, we dive into how focusing on what you have rather than what's missing can transform not just your mindset, but your health, relationships, and success in business.

The definitions of typical swim practice terms will help you navigate swim workouts so you can focus on your swimming.  @1:30 (Send Off Time) Swimmers use a pace clock to time their sets. They always speak in minutes and seconds. When a coach tells you to swim a set on “the 1:30,” the coach is saying that you have 1 minute, 30 seconds to complete each swim and rest and then begin the next swim.    @ :30 Rest The prescribed time in-between intervals or sets. When a coach tells you "30 seconds rest” the coach is saying that you have 30 seconds to rest that starts as soon as your hand touches the wall and ends with you pushing off the wall.    1 x 100 If a pool is 25 yards long and you swam across it. You have completed 1 x 25. If you were to make it a roundtrip and swim from one side of the pool and back, you have swum 50 yards, or 1 x 50. If you were to swim two roundtrips, then you have swum 100 yards, or 1 x 100.   10 x 100 This describes the number of repeats of the distance for each set. If you were to swim 100 yards 10 times, then you have done 10 x 100s.    Bilateral Breathing The process of breathing on alternate sides during freestyle, such as breathing every third or fifth stroke.    Build-Up Swim Specific distances over which you gradually increase your speed. For a build-up 100-yard swim, you start at a certain speed, gradually building to maximum or near maximum speed at the end of the 100.   Cool-Down Easy to moderate swimming following an intensive effort or race. The purpose is to rid the body of excess lactic acid and to reduce heart rate and respiration. May also be referred to as “recovery swimming.” “active rest/recovery.” or “warm-down”.   Descending Interval A set in which the interval (swim time plus rest) decreases with each repeat. A descending interval set of 5 x 100s may have send-offs of 2:00, 1:55, 1:50, 1:45, and 1:40.    Descending Set A series of the same distance in which your swimming times decrease with each repeat. Your time on a descending set of 4 x 50s on 1:00 may be :46, :44, :42, and :40.     DPS (Distance per Stroke) The distance you cover with each stroke. The longer your distance per stroke, the more efficient your stroke is. You can calculate this by dividing your distance swum by your stroke count over that distance.    Drill An exercise designed to improve the technique of a swimmer. Many drills focus on a specific part of the stroke. Often a coach may say, “Drill 25, then swim 25,” which means do a drill for 25 yards, then do the full stroke for the next 25 yards.    IM (Individual Medley) A swim in which you swim each stroke in the following order: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Each stroke must be swum for one-quarter of the race distance.    Long Course Meters A pool that is 50 meters long.   Negative Split A swim during which the second half is completed faster than the first half.   OW (Open Water) Swimming that occurs outside of a pool, such as in a river, lake, or ocean.   Pace Typically expressed as time per 100, but can also be represented as time per 50 pace. Usually, you should swim at a pace that you can hold for a long time, rather than changing your pace drastically within a set (unless the set calls for it.   Pulling A swim during which only your upper body is used. Pulling generally implies the use of a pull buoy, a flotation device placed between your legs. Hand paddles are also often used on pulling sets.     RIMO (Reverse IM Order) A swim in which you swim in reverse IM order: freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and butterfly. Each stroke must be swum for one-quarter of the total distance.     Set A number of repetitive swims (repeats) at specific distances that typically involve an interval or a specific amount of rest. There is a limitless number of sets that vary in the number of repeats, distance, and interval. An example of a basic set is 10 x 100s @ 1:30.   Short Course Meters A pool that is 25 meters long. Because a meter is slightly longer than a yard, this is a longer distance than a short course yards pool, which should be accounted for determining intervals or examining race times   Short Course Yards A pool that is 25 yards long. This is the standard distance for most US pools.   Sprint Swimming at top speed in any given stroke.   SDK (Streamline Dolphin Kick) Dolphin kick performed in a streamlined position commonly performed after the start or a turn.   SKPS (Swim Kick Pull Swim) Abbreviation for a set that includes swim, kick, pull, and swim in that order.   SWOLF (Swim Golf) The sum of strokes taken and swim time, usually done for a 50. Trying to lower SWOLF helps improve stroke effectiveness.   Taper Training period designed to produce peak performance by a swimmer in a competition. A taper generally follows a higher-intensity phase and is a period during which a swimmer grows stronger through rest and recovery.   Test Set, aka Critical Swim Speed (CSS) or Critical Swim Velocity (CSV)   The exact same set that is typically done numerous times throughout the year to gauge the swimmer's progress throughout the year or year to year. The first time you do a test set it may be to get your base fitness level and from then on it gauges your improvements through training.   VO2 Max Set References the maximum amount of oxygen you can utilize while exercising. These types of sets involve swimming as fast as you can and then resting roughly twice as long as you were swimming. Repeat multiple times until you start to slow down significantly.     Warm-Up A period of swimming in which you acclimate and warm your muscles for faster swimming, which is important to prevent injury. During warm-up, you should generally experience an increase in heart rate and respiration.   Lap swim etiquette for all swimmers   1. Choose a lane according to your skill level Public pools usually have their lanes set up with designated speeds. These range from slower to faster swimmers and often include a lane for those doing physical therapy. Swim in the lane that feels like the best fit for you. Remember that skill level and speed are subjective—especially at a public swimming pool. Watch other swimmers who are already in the pool to help determine which lane is best for you. You might be swimming in the fast lane one day and in the medium lane the next, depending on who else is in the pool with you, Don't overthink the lane speed too much, and be sure to leave your ego in your locker. The speed label is only a guideline; if you find that you're being passed often by others in your lane, kindly move to the slower lane once you've finished your lap at the end of the pool. 2. Pick an empty lane first If there are multiple lanes available at your decided speed, choose an empty lane. It's bad lap pool etiquette to crowd a swim lane when it isn't necessary. 3. Enter from the ends of the lanes Never enter a swim lane from the side. Always enter feet first from the end of the lanes and never jump into the pool. Entering from the side or the middle of another lane can cause a collision or interrupt other swimmers. 4. Ask before entering a lane with someone If someone is already swimming in the lane, the best way to signify that you would like to join them is by dangling your feet in the water while sitting on the pool deck. The person swimming laps won't always stop their workout from talking to you—if they don't, fully submerge yourself into the lane only after they've swum past you and have had the chance to notice your feet. 5. Check the lane sharing method and lap swim direction Before you start swimming, check the lane sharing method and swim direction! The pool will typically post the preferred lane sharing method. If you're unsure, ask a facility staff member, a lifeguard, or another swimmer. There are two main lane sharing methods: split lane swimming and circle swimming. Split lane swimming Split lane swimming is when only two swimmers share a lane, and each swim exclusively on one side. They do not rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Instead, they stick to one side of the lane and go back and forth on that side. Circle swimming Circle swimming is where swimmers swim (you guessed it) in a circle—either in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction around the lane. The direction of swimming may vary based on your geographical location. For example, in North America, swimmers will often swim in a counterclockwise circle (on the right side of the lane), and in Australia, swimmers will often swim in a clockwise direction (on the left side of the lane). 6. Give other swimmers space When sharing a lane, it's essential to give your fellow swimmers adequate space. When using the split lane approach, stay close to your side of the lane to avoid a head-on collision. When circle swimming, push off when the other swimmer is halfway down the lane. If there are more than two of you in the lane, try to time your push off so you're halfway between the swimmer ahead of you and the swimmer behind you. 7. Don't push off right before a swimmer turns Never push off the wall when another swimmer is approaching the wall to turn. Doing so is very poor lap swim etiquette, as it can easily result in a head-on collision or startle the oncoming swimmer. 8. Turn at the center This rule only applies to circle swimming. Make sure you turn at the center of the wall, especially when doing a flip turn! Doing this will help avoid head-on collisions and injuries. 9. Tap to pass If you need to pass the swimmer in front of you, tap them on the foot to let them know. It's proper pool etiquette for lap swimmers to pass on the inside of the swim lane. If you feel someone tap on your foot, don't stop swimming. Simply slow your stride and move closer to the outside of the lane (as much as possible). If your fellow swimmer gives you a tap just before the turn, yield to them at the wall. Move to the far side of the lane line (right side if you're swimming counterclockwise and left side if you are going clockwise) and let them pass. 10. Never stop in the middle of the lane Never stop in the middle of the lane and never grab onto the lane lines (also known as the lane dividers). Wait until you get to the wall if you need to adjust your swim cap, suit, or goggles. 11. Rest in the corners If you get tired during your swim, take a breather at a corner of the wall. Take breaks in the right corner for counterclockwise swims, and for clockwise swims, it is the left corner. 12. Be very careful when wearing hand paddles Hand paddles are made of hard plastic, so be mindful of your stroke when using them. Trust us; if you accidentally hit someone with paddles on, it won't feel good for either of you. 13. What strokes to avoid while lane swimming Certain strokes require more space than others. For example, butterfly and breaststroke use wide strokes that increase your chances of hitting someone else if you're sharing a lane. If you choose to swim either of these styles, you'll need to be very aware of others around you and time your strokes to avoid hitting oncoming swimmers. Backstroke is another swim style you may want to avoid if someone else is swimming in your lane. In this case, only swim backstroke if you're a skilled swimmer and are confident you won't veer into oncoming swimmers.   Get Gritty Tip: Making Happiness a Burden Let's talk about a trap so many of us fall into—the idea that happiness is something we have to earn. The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy lays out a simple but profound truth: we often make happiness a burden by attaching it to a future achievement instead of recognizing the wins we've already had. Think about it—how many times have you told yourself, “I'll be happy when I hit that PR, finish that race, or finally feel like I belong in this sport?” That mindset puts happiness on the other side of an ever-moving goalpost. And here's the kicker: even when we reach that milestone, we don't stop. We just set a new one, and happiness gets pushed further away. This is The Gap. The endless space between where you are and where you think you should be. Living in the Gap means you measure yourself against an ideal that's always shifting, and no matter what you accomplish, you never feel like it's enough. Now, let's flip it. The Gain is about measuring progress backward—looking at how far you've come instead of how far you have left to go. When you recognize the small wins, the growth, and the lessons along the way, happiness becomes something you experience now, not something you defer to the future. So here's your challenge: Think back to where you were a year ago in your endurance journey—whether that's in triathlon, strength training, or even just in your mindset. What's one thing you can do today that your past self would be amazed by? Maybe it's a pace you used to struggle with that now feels easy. Maybe it's the confidence to call yourself an athlete. Maybe it's the fact that you showed up today. Write it down. Sit with it. That's The Gain—and that's where sustainable happiness comes from. Because if happiness is always waiting on the other side of achievement, you'll never catch it. But if you recognize the Gain, you'll realize it's been with you all along.
