Whether it's a new treatment protocol, a workflow idea, or a piece of equipment you've been debating, waiting for perfection can stall your progress. Instead, take action—even if it's not perfect. Because in dentistry (and in life), momentum creates feedback, and feedback drives real growth. Tune in and get inspired to launch that idea you've been sitting on.

Join Coaches Mike and Paul as they delve into the crucial mindset of starting from zero in any area of life…health, wealth, fitness, career, and family. They share impactful advice on setting realistic expectations, embracing the beginning, and focusing on consistent progress over perfection. Learn how to cultivate the "Balanced Warrior" mentality to be the high achiever you can be proud of! Key Highlights & Advice: Every Master Was Once a Disaster: Emphasizing that everyone, regardless of their current success, started at the beginning. Grandmasters were once white belts. Progress, Not Perfection: A powerful reminder to focus on taking action and accumulating small wins rather than being paralyzed by the pursuit of flawlessness. Stacking Small Wins: The importance of celebrating small victories to build momentum and motivation. Just like a baby's first words are celebrated, acknowledge every step forward. Reverse Engineering Goals: Start with the long-term vision but break it down into smaller, manageable steps with clear metrics and timelines. Attacking the Day: Shift from merely "trusting the process" to actively attacking the day with focused action steps that contribute to your goals. Winning the Day: Focus on identifying and achieving 3 key action steps in your core areas of life (business/production, health/fitness, relationships/family) to feel a sense of accomplishment and build confidence. Consistency Over Special Talent: Recognizing that long-term success often stems from consistent effort and habits rather than innate abilities. Tailored Coaching: The importance of a coach that provides the right kind of motivation and accountability, whether it's a firm push or gentle encouragement. And a ton more advice! Join the Balanced Warriors and learn how to achieve progress in all areas of your life.  

Carla White didn't set out to be a tech pioneer—but that's exactly what happened. In this episode, Carla shares how her viral Gratitude Journal app led to a full-blown reinvention: from coach to founder of Hero.fm, a platform helping women monetize their knowledge with audio.   We dig into the messy middle—what it's like being a woman in male-dominated tech, the emotional toll of trying to prove yourself, and why perfection is the enemy of progress. If you've ever second-guessed launching something, Carla's story will remind you that done is better than perfect—and your voice is more powerful than you think.  

As we wrap up the month of April, let's take a moment to reflect on the powerful concept of progress over perfection. Life has a way of presenting us with challenges, and it's easy to fall into the trap of chasing unattainable perfection. This month, we've focused on shifting that mindset—embracing small, consistent steps that lead to meaningful and lasting growth. Let's celebrate the progress we've made, no matter how small, and continue moving forward with grace and determination!

In this episode of the Modern Man Podcast, host Ted engages with high-performance coach Adam Smith, who shares insights on personal development, the pursuit of potential, and the internal blocks that high achievers face. They discuss the importance of progress over perfection, the role of beliefs and standards in achieving success, and the necessity of stillness in a fast-paced world. Adam emphasizes that purpose is not something to be found but created through action and progress, and he highlights the common struggle of feeling 'not good enough' among men, particularly in high-pressure environments. TakeawaysThe pursuit of potential is a continuous journey.Progress equals happiness, not destination.Many men feel they are not good enough.Purpose is something we create, not find.The 'when and then' mentality hinders action.High achievers often struggle with internal blocks.Beliefs shape our actions and results.Discipline is key to high performance.Standards determine the quality of our work.Stillness allows for powerful action and reflection. Meditation can feel uncomfortable due to the overwhelming number of thoughts we have.We often avoid pain rather than seeking pleasure, which affects our perception of experiences.Being fully present can help us appreciate the world around us.Stillness is essential for achieving inner peace and calm.Many people feel they are 'doing it wrong' regarding mindfulness practices.Compartmentalization can lead to chaos in different areas of life.Success can be redefined to include joy and fulfillment, not just achievement.The cost of unchecked ambition can be high, including divorce and mental health issues.Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.You don't have to hit rock bottom to initiate change in your life.Chapters 00:18 - Introduction to the Modern Man Podcast 01:17 - Adam Smith: The High Performance Coach 02:16 - The Pursuit of Potential 04:13 - Understanding Purpose and Progress 07:07 - The 'When and Then' Mentality 09:18 - Internal Blocks for High Achievers 12:07 - The Role of Beliefs and Standards 15:24 - Discipline and High Performance 20:14 - The Importance of Stillness 23:59 - The Challenge of Meditation and Mindfulness 27:31 - The Importance of Stillness for Inner Peace 30:10 - Compartmentalization and Its Impact on Life 35:43 - The High Cost of Unchecked Ambition 38:56 - Redefining Success: Finding Joy and PurposeSmith's Links Website:agameconsultancy.comLinkedIn: Adam SmithInstagram: agameconsultancyFacebook: agameconsultancyPodcast: agameunfilteredFree eBook Here: Mastering Self-Development: Strategies of the New Masculine: https://rebrand.ly/m2ebook ⚔️JOIN THE NOBLE KNIGHTS MASTERMIND⚔️https://themodernmanpodcast.com/thenobleknights

Send us a textReagan Saffel from Odessa College joins host Yanni for a heartfelt conversation about navigating life's disappointments and finding unexpected blessings along the way. What begins as a casual chat quickly evolves into a profound exploration of purpose, perspective, and personal growth.When rejection hit Reagan hard—missing out on promotions and failing to get into physical therapy school—she found herself in a mental health struggle that many listeners will recognize. The turning point came unexpectedly during a supervisor meeting when her college president shared three simple words that would become her life motto: "Trust the process." This wisdom transformed her approach to setbacks, helping her recognize that closed doors often protect us from paths not meant for us.The conversation delves into how mental health intertwines with our daily choices—from establishing consistent gym routines to carefully selecting who we allow into our inner circle. Reagan's secondary motto, "Progress, not perfection," reveals her journey away from crippling perfectionism toward a healthier perspective that embraces growth over flawlessness.What makes this episode particularly powerful is Reagan's vulnerability about her struggles and the practical wisdom she offers. Whether discussing the impact of positive music on mindset, the importance of self-reflection, or the courage to share our stories, her insights feel both accessible and profound. The discussion about setting boundaries while maintaining a servant's heart will resonate deeply with anyone who finds themselves constantly pouring into others while neglecting their own wellbeing.Reagan's commitment to "walking the walk" in all areas of life offers an inspiring example of authentic leadership and genuine relationships. By the end of this conversation, listeners will find themselves equipped with practical strategies for navigating disappointment, protecting their mental health, and embracing their unique purpose.Don't miss the beautiful reminder that there's only one you—that's your superpower—and someone needs to hear your story.

How to turn latent motivation into fuel for change.If you want to be a changemaker, you'll have to convince others to join your cause. But according to Dan Heath, persuading your audience isn't about creating new motivation — it's about leveraging the motivation that's already there.“The most important fuel for any change effort is motivation,” says Heath, the number-one New York Times bestselling author of Reset: How to Change What's Not Working. Instead of struggling to persuade people to want what you want, Heath suggests finding where your goals overlap with the things they already desire. "Before you even get to persuasion, if you can just tap and unleash the energy that's already there, you've already catapulted yourself toward success,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Heath and host Matt Abrahams explore how to create more compelling communication using “leverage points,” or as Heath says, “where a little bit of effort yields a disproportionate return.” Whether getting buy-in from one teammate or achieving change across an entire organization, Heath shares practical tips for turning latent motivation into an engine for change.Get more done with Grammarly.
