Choosing the Hard Things on Purpose brings former NFL fullback Heath Evans and weight-loss hero Chrissy Evans into a raw and hope-filled conversation about discipline, surrender, and the kind of transformation that lasts. Together with Ginny, they walk through the rock-bottom moments that reshaped their lives—false accusations, public collapse, a weight-loss surgery that didn't work, and years of numbing habits that couldn't quiet the deeper ache. Instead of breaking them, those seasons awakened them. Heath and Chrissy share how choosing the harder path—true discipline, uncomfortable honesty, spiritual grounding, whole-food nourishment, and meaningful daily habits—became the doorway to health, joy, and peace they had never experienced before. Now raising six children—including a sibling group of four adopted out of the foster system—they talk candidly about fear, faith, and why real growth can't come from shortcuts or comfort. In a culture that profits from keeping people overwhelmed, medicated, and afraid, Heath and Chrissy model a different way: building strong families by facing hard things head-on, grounding kids in truth, prioritizing time outside, and trusting God with every unknown. This conversation is bold, uplifting, and deeply human—a reminder that the good life isn't the easy life, but the intentional one.

Have you ever noticed how quickly you brush off something that was actually really hard? This instinct to minimize difficulty might seem harmless, but it shapes how connected you feel to yourself and how honestly you experience your life.   In this episode, I explore the habit of minimizing difficulties: why we dismiss or dilute how challenging something was after it's over and how this pattern disconnects us from ourselves. Whether it's downplaying a tough day or pretending a painful experience was "fine," this habit can quietly erode self-trust and emotional awareness. You'll learn how to recognize when you're glossing over your real experience and what changes when you start telling the truth about what was hard.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/197   Join the Habits on Purpose newsletter for extra tools, prompts, and stories between episodes: https://habitsonpurpose.com/

What if the only way to build unshakable success is to suffer for it every single day? As part of the “Road to the Summit”, a special series ramping up to the 2025 Game Changers Summit this November 12–13, we're revisiting some of the most powerful conversations ever featured at our events. In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, we're throwing it back to the 2023 Game Changers Summit, where Joe De Sena, founder and CEO of Spartan Race, took the stage to unpack what it truly takes to lead with grit, persistence, and purpose.   From cleaning pools for mobsters in Queens to building a global fitness empire that nearly collapsed during the pandemic, Joe's story is a masterclass in resilience. He reveals that doing hard things isn't punishment but preparation, and that embracing discomfort builds the kind of resilience that separates those who survive from those who succeed. Here's what you'll learn: Why embracing adversity every day builds the grit required to win How to find your “why” — and use it to push through the toughest moments What it takes to turn pain, persistence, and purpose into long-term success If you want to build a life that can't be broken, this episode will show you how to earn it. ---- Show Notes: 02:43 – Joe recalls growing up in Queens surrounded by hustlers and mobsters — and the lessons that shaped his early work ethic. 07:26 – The business advice Joe received from a mob boss that taught him the value of showing up early, going above and beyond, and never asking for money. 11:53 – Joe shares how his repeated rejections from Cornell taught him the power of persistence and delayed gratification. 18:46 – The creation of Spartan Race — how Joe turned his passion for endurance and suffering into a global fitness empire. 20:44 – Joe reveals how the pandemic nearly destroyed Spartan, costing $50 million, and why grit kept him from quitting. 25:42 – The story of the Japanese marathon monks and what extreme commitment looks like in practice. 33:48 – Why manufacturing adversity every day — through cold showers, burpees, and hard choices — is the key to building lasting resilience.

It made me stop and ask one big question: Was this the universe testing me, or was it just life reminding me that I can hold it all?Here's what you'll hear in this week's conversation:What the Upper Limit Problem really means, inspired by The Big Leap by Gay HendricksHow to recognize when you're blocking your own expansion through fear or doubtThe difference between an upper limit and life simply happeningWhy creating unnecessary meaning around hard moments keeps you stuckHow to grow your capacity to hold both joy and grief at the same timeSimple mindset shifts to help you move beyond self-sabotage and stay open to abundanceIf you're navigating your own season of growth — one where things feel both incredible and uncertain — this episode will remind you that it's safe to expand, to receive, and to feel all of it.Let's Stay Connected!As an empowerment coach, author, twin girl mom, and the creator of the GiRLiFE Academy, my mission is to help every woman and girl discover her voice and live a life that lights her up from the inside out.I'd love to connect with you and continue this beautiful journey together!

Nicholas Thompson is a writer, a father, a CEO, and a champion long-distance runner. Nick says that running has taught him how to navigate the hardest things in life. This conversation is about running, but it's really about what changes when we commit to doing hard things.

Even as he took on the demanding role as CEO of The Atlantic, Nick continued to break records as an elite runner.

We're all out of the ordinary. “We need to be open to risks. We need to go from dreaming to doing. We need to say ‘yes' to the hard things.” We address: ● Balancing excitement and grit when facing tough challenges ● Saying “yes” to the big things ● Finding freedom in structure ● Moving from dreamer to doer Dan welcomes Mark Drager, entrepreneur, speaker, and the founder of Phanta Media. He is also the co-host of The Something to Prove Podcast with Evan Carmichael, as well as The We Do Hard Things Podcast. On these shows, he explores the challenges of entrepreneurship while sharing real-life stories, experiences, and practical insights. 3 MAJOR POINTS DISCUSSED ● At some point in your life, you will have something to prove—either to others or to yourself. Most people know how it feels to want to demonstrate their worth to family, friends, and even total strangers. But even the most successful people in the world are faced with fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs that they are driven to overcome. In either case, get excited that you get to grow through smashing these limiting beliefs. ● The key to growth is excitement. Excitement will carry you so much further than grit or determination will. But the grit and the determination come in when you don't have the excitement. ● It's great to dream, but at some point, it's time to do. Whenever you have a dream, you feel creative, smart, potential, and accomplished. But if you don't do anything—if you don't move from being a dreamer to being a doer—you'll feel like a liar. Whenever you have a dream, you're on the other side of a scary, hard, or difficult thing. Will everything work out if you take the leap? Probably not. As an entrepreneur and strategist, Mark has built a multi-million dollar marketing agency, Mark helped launch startups and transformed international brands... and yet despite all the success, Mark still wakes up every morning with the feeling that he is not good enough. That he has not come close to hitting his potential. And he may never achieve the high-hopes he has for myself. He believes we all have something to prove - to the doubters, the haters, the voices in our own heads... So, each week he will shares real, tactical advice and the most interesting and inspiring interviews. Because his goal is to help those of us who have something to prove show the world, and ourselves, that we have what it takes to make it happen.
