Podcasts about hard thing

My new book, Own Or Be Owned, is all about building a business so good it doesn't need you. More profit, less pain. It's out September 18, grab your ticket to the launch event here: https://contrarianthinking.biz/oobo_bigdeal - cs You've been avoiding the conversation. The one where you tell someone the truth they need to hear but don't want to face. You soften it, delay it, wrap it in compliments, and call it kindness. Here's the truth: every time you avoid hard feedback, you're not protecting them. You're stealing from their future. And the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets for both of you. Great leaders don't avoid difficult conversations. They run toward them. They understand that soft feedback isn't kindness, it's vanity disguised as care. This episode breaks down the exact framework for giving feedback that makes people better, not bitter, why most workplace drama exists because people refuse to talk directly, and the one leadership mistake that turns you into an emotional middleman instead of a standard bearer. In this episode, you'll learn: Why vanity is the silent killer of leadership and how refusing to tell people the truth costs them weeks or months of improvement while buying you seconds of comfort The CLEAR framework: Care, Lead with the work, be Exact, Ask, and Reset, and how this five step process turns hard conversations into growth opportunities Why Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Jensen Huang built empires by being brutally direct and how treating competent adults like they can handle the truth is the most respectful thing you can do The no gossip rule: why great teams go direct to the source and how stopping yourself from becoming an emotional middleman forces your team to handle its own friction Why feedback in private versus public matters and how Jensen Huang's 60 direct reports and public feedback model keeps NVIDIA's turnover at 2% while everyone else bleeds talent Stop choosing comfort over growth. Start having the conversation. The person you're avoiding is the one who needs to hear it most. ___________ (00:00:00) Introduction: The Vanity Test and Why Soft Feedback Is Cowardice (00:00:35) Steve Jobs and Johnny Ive: Great Leaders Build People by Saying the Hard Thing (00:02:08) Bill Gates and the Parking Lot: The Crazy Ones Push Until It Hurts (00:03:02) Ruinous Empathy: How Avoiding Feedback Steals From Their Future (00:04:05) The CLEAR Framework: Care, Lead, Exact, Ask, Reset (00:06:06) Great Employees Want Clarity, Weak Ones Want Comfort (00:07:14) Ben Horowitz and the Sandwich Method: Don't Wrap Criticism in Compliments (00:08:00) Jensen Huang's No One-on-Ones Rule: Torture Them Into Greatness (00:09:26) Sheryl Sandberg and the Ummm Story: Caring Personally Means Challenging Directly (00:10:41) The Room You're Afraid to Call: Stop Being a Human Complaint Box (00:13:27) Push Them to Have Crucial Conversations: Leadership Is About Making People Better (00:15:42) Choose Growth Over Comfort: Have the Conversation This Week ___________ MORE FROM BIGDEAL

If you're the kind of woman who gets a little hit of satisfaction every time you cross something off your list, this one's for you, friend. Because here's what I've noticed after years of chasing those tiny checkboxes: the small, easy tasks we tell ourselves are "productive" are often the exact thing keeping us from the goal that actually matters. I call it procrasto-working, and overachievers are dangerously good at it. In part four of our six-part Success Mindset summer series, I'm sharing the shift I personally made that changed how I move through my entire day — starting with the hard thing instead of saving it for a version of me that has more time, more energy, and fewer emails (spoiler: she never arrives). It's a small reorder with a surprisingly big ripple effect, and it's less about discipline than you'd think.   Resources:  Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.burnstressloseweight.com/227 Join my email list: http://burnstressloseweight.com/email

Brendan Morgan is an ultrarunner who found running in 2023 by doing something most people avoid. He started because he hated it.Since then, he's gone all in. From completing a 4x4x48 just months after starting to running across Pennsylvania, Brendan has quickly built a reputation for taking on challenges that push both his body and mind to the edge. But what stands out isn't just the distance. It's the mindset behind it.In this conversation, Brendan talks about why running became more than just a physical outlet. It's something he can fully control in a world where most things aren't. That idea has shaped how he approaches challenges, how he deals with adversity, and how he shows up for others.He also shares how his past experiences and mental health journey influence the way he uses running as a tool, not just for himself, but to create space for others to feel seen and supported. Whether it's running across a state to raise awareness or showing vulnerability online, Brendan is intentional about how he uses his platform.This episode is about choosing discomfort on purpose, understanding why that matters, and exploring how far you can go when you lean into it.Jon and Brendan talk about:starting running because he hated it and what kept him coming backusing running as something you can fully control when life isn'thow pushing physical limits translates into mental resiliencethe role running plays in his mental health and day-to-day happinessdeveloping a deeper “why” through ultramarathons and long effortsrunning across Pennsylvania and using extreme challenges to raise awarenessthe experience of running Double Boston and what it revealedthe contrast between quiet miles and race-day energyhow past experiences shape his approach to discomfort and growthwhy he shares vulnerability and mental health openly onlinewhat draws him to longer and harder challenges like backyard ultrasadvice for anyone who wants to push themselves furtherFollow Brendan: https://www.instagram.com/runswithb?igsh=MXAwM3RoZGNydHdoag==This episode is supported by:Precision Fuel & Hydration - Dial your fueling in this year.

Why courage-based decisions are cheaper long-term.You pay once to avoid the hard thing, then again to fix what avoidance created. The uncomfortable conversation you avoided just got more uncomfortable. The boundary you didn't set? Now it's a crisis. Fear-based decisions buy you temporary relief at the cost of future peace. The thing you're avoiding is smaller than what it becomes. Courage pays once, fear pays forever. The dragon you don't slay only gets bigger.You can pay now in discomfort or pay later in regret—but you will pay. Fear decisions are debt, borrowing peace from your future self.Listen if you're ready to stop paying twice. Courage is expensive upfront but cheap long-term. Fear is cheap upfront but expensive forever. Choose.

I wasn't sure. Then I went to church, and found a compelling answer.

What's really holding voice actors back? In most cases, it's not talent. It's mindset, the stories we tell ourselves, and the lack of accountability to push through when things get hard. In this episode, Marc Scott sits down with Billie Jo Konze — stage actor, voice actor, singer, podcaster, and accountability coach — for a candid conversation about what it actually takes to grow a sustainable voice over career. From bowling to booking campaigns, this one covers a lot of ground. But at the heart of it is a simple truth: the people who succeed are the ones who show up, do the hard thing, and refuse to let their own excuses win. What you'll learn in this episode: Why confidence directly impacts your booking ratio How the stories you tell yourself can make or break your career What "work begets work" really means — and why it's about confidence, not just credits How to build and run an accountability group that actually works Why shame has no place in accountability The numbers every voice actor should be tracking Why your social media follower count is probably the wrong metric Book recommendations for the voice actor who wants to think like a business owner CONNECT WITH BILLIE JO KONZE

Thanks for watching and listening!In this episode, I share the power of running toward the hard thing. It's about what happens when:• You choose a hard thing on purpose• You tie your goals to someone else's growth• You stop chasing comfort and start chasing contributionWe talk about why discomfort sharpens identity, how service fuels discipline, and why small, collective actions create real impact.If you've been looking for a reason to stretch yourself — or a way to be part of something that matters — this conversation is for you.The miles will be run either way.The only question is whether you want to help turn them into momentum for someone else.

Most of us either wield truth like a weapon or stay quiet to protect the relationship. Neither is love. In Galatians 4, Paul refuses to separate grace and truth… and shows us how to speak hard things and receive them through the power of Jesus Christ.

Make it meritorious and offer up all your emotions, do not curse your blessings.

If you want creative freedom, financial freedom, and real momentum in your business… you have to do the thing you don't want to do. (https://majikmedia.com/majikmind) In this video, I break down exactly why I sent 80–100 cold outreach emails in one week — even though I'd much rather be writing Majik Kids stories with my son. Because here's the truth: Big partnerships. Licensing deals. Six-figure revenue streams. Signature Workshop bookings. They don't come from “build it and they will come.” They come from outreach → conversation → connection → conversion. I share: How I'm using Boardy.ai to generate strategic partnerships Why most creators avoid outreach (and stay stuck) The real math behind closing high-ticket deals How one Majik Mind member sent 465 emails and booked 65 partnerships Why there is always a season of push before a season of flow The mindset shift that makes selling feel like service If you're a coach, creator, founder, workshop leader, or entrepreneur trying to grow without relying on social media algorithms — this is required watching. This is about: Strategic partnerships Business growth without social media Cold email outreach Signature workshops Licensing deals Relationship-based marketing Scaling a creative business Founder mindset Entrepreneur discipline Building recurring revenue If you're serious about: Building sustainable revenue Creating freedom for your family Growing through partnerships instead of chasing followers Turning your workshop into a real engine Playing the long game Then this is your wake-up call. And if you're ready to build your entire Signature Workshop system in 3 days in person, I'm hosting a private retreat at my studio on Salt Spring Island (limited to 4 people). Details in the video.

When life strips away comfort, mindset stops being motivational talk and becomes a survival-grade discipline. In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Branden LaNette to unpack mindset as lived practice: how trauma can hijack identity, why scrolling can keep people numb, and what it means to respond to reality with radical responsibility. This episode is for anyone who feels stuck between who they've been and who they're trying to become—and wants a practical next step that actually moves the needle. About the Guest: Branden LaNette is the host of the “Listen B…” podcast and an author who speaks candidly about emotional intelligence, boundaries, personal responsibility, and faith. She shares her story of being on her own young and raising six kids. Key Takeaways: Define mindset as your response to reality—not affirmations or manifesting Notice when replaying old stories keeps your nervous system stuck in the past Stop arguing for your discomfort; choose one action that changes momentum Ask daily: “What's the scariest helpful thing I can do today?” Do the hardest task first to “open up” the rest of your day How to Connect With the Guest: https://brandenlanette.com/ ; her podcast; her books on Amazon and Audible; sign up for her “love letters.” Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

If you hoped this year would feel lighter by now — but you're still in the same hard place — this episode is for you.In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Meredith Brock and Kaley Olson sit down with Sarah Freymuth to explore what God may be doing when the struggle doesn't lift. Through Scripture and personal experience, Sarah reminds us that unanswered prayers aren't signs of God's absence — they can be invitations to deeper trust. If you've been asking “Why me?,” this episode gently invites you to shift the question to “What now, God?” and discover how God meets us in the valley.You'll learn:Why God doesn't always remove the hard thing — and what He may be doing instead.How pain can reveal where we've placed our dependence.The heart-shifting difference between asking “Why me?” and “What now?” to God.How Scripture can become a lifeline when faith feels exhausted.What it looks like to experience God's presence even when circumstances don't change.Resources From This Episode:All the Hard Things:  by Sarah FreymuthWalking through a season that feels heavy and unending?

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 298), I open one small word that carries enormous spiritual weight—the word nevertheless. From 2 Timothy 2:15–19, we are reminded that error, deception, and cultural pressure can never weaken the foundation of God. False teaching may spread like gangrene, but truth remains untouched. The Word of God stands sure, regardless of who argues against it, mocks it, or misunderstands it. Tracing this word through Scripture—from Elisha's bold faith in 2 Kings 2, to God's mercy in Psalm 106, and finally to Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane—we discover that nevertheless is the fulcrum of faith. It is how believers stand firm, pray hard prayers, trust God for miracles, and rest their hope fully on the cross. When everything shakes, this word anchors us: God is faithful, Christ has died for us, and His truth will never fail. – Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - Leaders Notebook(00:04:10) - A Word of Life(00:05:37) - 2 Timothy 1: Nevertheless(00:07:31) - The Attack on the Fundamental Truths of the Bible(00:15:12) - The Nevertheless of Faith in a Hard Thing(00:20:16) - A teenage boy in the desert(00:22:31) - Third Psalm(00:25:47) - Crucified Jesus(00:29:03) - The Leader's Notebook

Is it clear that something has to change, but you're afraid to make a move? How do you know when it's time to throw in the towel? And how does “hope” fuel anxiety and keep us stuck? Whether it's our business, a relationship, or whatever, we tend to stay stuck in a painful place because we don't want to do the hard thing. Today, Alyson and I discuss why we avoid reality, how we can reclaim our power, and what we can ultimately do to allow peace of mind.   https://www.thenewmanpodcast.com/2026/02/staying-stuck-moving-forward   COACHING   → To learn more about coaching with Tripp Lanier visit https://TrippLanier.com → To learn more about working with Alyson Lanier visit https://AlysonLanier.com   BOOK   → We live in a world with more possibilities than ever before.

Thanks for watching and listening!It's about what happens when:• You choose a hard thing on purpose• You tie your goals to someone else's growth• You stop chasing comfort and start chasing contributionWe talk about why discomfort sharpens identity, how service fuels discipline, and why small, collective actions create real impact.If you've been looking for a reason to stretch yourself — or a way to be part of something that matters — this conversation is for you.The miles will be run either way.The only question is whether you want to help turn them into momentum for someone else.I also share why I'm running a 24-hour race — and why it has very little to do with running.I'm attempting 80 miles with a simple goal: place 80 copies of The Capitalize Your Best Daily Reader into the hands of 80 alternative school students.But this episode isn't about self-promotion.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1879DMLewis gets brutally honest about something most of us are doing right now without realizing the damage: avoiding hard situations. Like, for Lewis, having hard conversations with people. He used to sweat thinking about difficult talks with people he cared about, overanalyzing every word, dreading the discomfort so intensely that he'd just... not do it. But here's what he discovered: that avoidance wasn't protecting anyone. It was creating constant stress in his body, this low-grade anxiety that never went away. He was abandoning himself every time he chose comfort over truth. And the longer he waited, the louder that internal scream became, slowly eroding his self-trust and self-belief.Here's the shift that changes everything: confidence doesn't come from affirmations or motivation or waiting until you feel ready. It comes from doing the one uncomfortable thing you've been putting off. Maybe it's that conversation, that call, that message you need to send. Whatever it is, it's probably creating more stress by avoiding it than actually doing it would. Even something as simple as moving your body for 10 minutes daily builds self-respect because you're showing up, you're listening to yourself, you're proving you can do hard things. Consistency beats intensity every single time. When you stop seeing yourself as someone who avoids discomfort and start seeing yourself as someone who handles it (who maybe even loves it) everything changes. Do one hard thing today. That's it.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We often look for ways to reduce the load on our brains, seeking shortcuts and optimizations to get ahead. Sometimes this works, reinforcing the belief that we can hack our way around every problem. However, this episode addresses the truth that many fundamental aspects of your career require something difficult, messy, slow, or inefficient, demanding deep thought and repeated failure.This episode details the difficult truths about facing the most essential challenges in your career:Understand the Hard Path: Recognize that many aspects of your career, skill set, relationships, and hobbies require something difficult, messy, slow, or inefficient, demanding deep thought and repeated failure.Identify Your Primary Obstacles: Pinpoint the hard things you are procrastinating on, such as developing essential domain knowledge, deepening relationships with crucial co-workers or your manager, or getting the necessary "reps" of difficult building and practice.The Path to Mastery: Realize that becoming a great engineer (e.g., a great Python developer) is achieved not by reading books or finding perfect tools, but by building things over and over. This practice includes receiving feedback from peers and applying what you learn under challenge.The Pain of Decision: Explore why it is difficult to even decide to do a hard thing. By committing to the challenging path, you are choosing to cut off your optionality and giving up the hope of finding an easier, lower-investment alternative.Sustaining Commitment: Understand that initial motivation or an energetic feeling will not carry you through the obstacle when the development process becomes awkward, slow, or frustrating.

There's no easy way to do a hard thing.But sometimes, the hard thing becomes the holy thing — the moment that shapes us into who we were always meant to be. In this episode, I share the full-circle realization that learning to budget during one of the hardest seasons of our lives prepared us for something far greater — building our dream lake home. What once felt like survival became the foundation for abundance. We'll talk about how every challenge we face, in business, in relationships, in faith, is sacred preparation. I'll share how science even confirms it: our brains rewire through difficulty, strengthening us for the next chapter of life. If you're walking through something hard right now, take heart. You're not behind, you're being built. You're not being punished, you're being prepared.

Reset Your Life Thermostat: Simple Shifts to Reignite Your Drive and Redefine Success What if your life's limits weren't determined by circumstance—but by the temperature you've set for yourself? In this mashup episode, I'm bringing together six powerhouse conversations with Tony Robbins, Rob Dyrdek, Steve Weatherford, Brendon Burchard, Christina Pazsitzky, and Tom Bilyeu to explore the subtle but radical shifts that can reset your life's thermostat and raise your internal standard for success, fulfillment, and peace. Tony Robbins breaks down the science of transformation—why immersion, conditioning, and emotional state are the foundation of real change. Rob Dyrdek takes us behind the stunts and success stories to reveal what true life optimization looks like when you're building a life by design instead of by default. Steve Weatherford opens his heart in one of the rawest conversations I've ever had—showing how self-hate can masquerade as ambition, and how the real victory is learning to love yourself, not just your achievements. Then Brendon Burchard lays out the habits that high performers master to stay consistent, productive, and grounded—how to move the needle daily instead of getting lost in busywork. Christina Pazsitzky shares how forgiveness, humor, and meaning can turn even the hardest pain into redemption and perspective. And Tom Bilyeu reminds us that failure isn't a verdict—it's the birthplace of greatness. He proves that your past does not define you; the story you choose to write next does. Every one of these conversations points back to one truth: your life will always rise—or fall—to the level of your identity. When you change who you believe you are, your actions, habits, and outcomes follow. Whether it's resetting your mindset, rewriting your story, or rebuilding your routines, the next version of you is waiting on the other side of one decision. Key Takeaways: Your identity is your thermostat—raise it, and every area of your life follows. (Ed Mylett) Transformation happens through conditioning and immersion, not quick fixes. (Tony Robbins) True fulfillment comes when you optimize your life for what matters most, not just for success. (Rob Dyrdek) Achievement without self-love is self-destruction in disguise. (Steve Weatherford) Focus 60% of your effort on needle-moving actions that create impact. (Brendon Burchard) Healing and happiness start with choosing new meaning for your past. (Christina Pazsitzky) Failure is feedback—a gift that exposes the next level of your potential. (Tom Bilyeu) You don't need a perfect plan. You just need to make the decision to turn up your life's temperature—to demand more from yourself, to love yourself deeper, and to believe that you were born for something extraordinary.

A former NCAA All-American and SEC Champion for the Gators, Kim believes that a leader's first job is to coach themselves, and only then can they coach those they lead. Guided by John Wooden's reminder that “We need to treat them all the same, differently,” she challenges the outdated approach of coaching the game without attention to the person, inspiring future leaders to create environments where athletes and employees truly thrive. About Kim Bastable Kim Bastable is the creator and lead instructor of the University of Florida's Director of Racquet Sports program, the first-of-its-kind university-based curriculum focused on leadership and business in the racquets industry. With over 40 years of experience, Kim has held leadership roles at clubs and universities, coached at the collegiate and junior levels, and earned certifications in mental performance, leadership, and racquet sports instruction. A top-ranked Gator tennis player in the 1980s, she was an NCAA All-American, three-time SEC champion, and has since become a certified tennis professional, elite racquet sports coach, and Level 2 padel coach. Kim holds a Master's in Positive Coaching Psychology from the University of Missouri and a B.S. in Finance from UF, as well as advanced certifications from Notre Dame University, the Human Performance Institute, and Peak Performance Sports.

In this episode of Her Revision, Jasmine Lashae gets all the way real about the quiet things we avoid — the decisions, the boundaries, the truths — and how avoidance often disguises itself as peace, rest, or even loyalty. From untangling your worth from being the “teacher,” to naming the emotional clutter that keeps you stuck, this episode is a spiritual gut check. No fluff. No performative softness. Just truth, reflection, and that loving push you've been avoiding.

Have you ever held back from asking a question because you were terrified of looking stupid? In this episode, I dive into the life-changing power of "saying the hard thing"—whether that's asking the question you're afraid to ask or having the difficult conversation you've been avoiding.I share two pivotal stories from my own career that completely transformed how I approach workplace communication. From not knowing what "ARs" meant for months at my first job to confronting a micromanaging boss who left me in tears, these experiences taught me that avoiding difficult conversations always costs more than having them.Learn why the fear of what others will think keeps you spinning in unproductive loops, how to face your worst-case scenarios head-on, and why saying the hard thing is actually an act of self-respect. I'll walk you through the exact steps to prepare for difficult conversations and show you how speaking up creates authentic relationships and faster career growth.Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.nataliefishertraining.com/episode-249

We create more pain for ourselves by resisting something than by actually doing it. Today, Lori and I dive into how resistance keeps you stuck, delays success, and drains your energy. I share a story about almost talking myself out of a simple trip to visit my mom just because I dreaded the early morning flight, and how it ended up being way easier than I thought. We also break down the science behind why our brains exaggerate discomfort before it happens and the mindset shift that will help you stop wasting energy on stress, eliminate unnecessary hesitation, and move forward faster.   HIGHLIGHTS The 90-day business plan that will eliminate resistance in your business. How your brain tricks you into thinking something will be harder than it is. The real reason you procrastinate (and how to stop). My wake-up call about why I almost skipped a meaningful family trip.
