In this episode, Steve Kwan is joined by Rosie Miller to explore the concept of the “tryhard hobbyist” in Jiu-Jitsu: someone who trains seriously and with intention, even if they don't pursue the sport professionally. Rosie, a brown belt out of Atos HQ and founder of The Grappler's Lab, shares her journey of evolving goals, identity, and self-worth within the sport. Together, they discuss the emotional and mental challenges hobbyists face, including impostor syndrome, burnout, risk management, and the struggle to balance ambition with sustainability. Rosie offers a values-based framework to help practitioners define their goals, align training with life priorities, and find long-term fulfillment in Jiu-Jitsu, regardless of competitive aspirations.Follow Rosie on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/rosierollzWork with Rosie @ The Grappler's Lab:https://www.thegrapplerslab.com/Mental models discussed in this episode:Cognitive Dissonancehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/cognitive-dissonance/Prioritize Longevityhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/prioritize-longevity/Return on Investmenthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/return-on-investment/Reframinghttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/reframing/Flowhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/flow/Impostor Syndromehttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/impostor-syndrome/Self-Competitionhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/self-competition/Don't forget to check out BJJ Mental Models Premium!If you love the podcast, you'll definitely love our premium membership offerings.

Joe is going to be hanging out with our friends over at International Diamond Center later but they are all going to be at Top Golf. Is he a 'try hard' if he goes to the event with this?

The Best Hang is talking the “Try Hard” book tour, Nathan Fielder's “The Rehearsal”, how to approach starting a conversation with a celeb, and Shane prepares for an audition in front of L.A producers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Arkells frontman Max Kerman is taking back the term “try hard” with his first book, “Try Hard: Creative Work in Progress.” It peels back the curtain on the band's creative process, offering a framework for how to bring more creativity into your life, but it's also a defence of striving and wanting to be a better artist. In this conversation with Tom Power, Max dispels some of the myths about what you need to make it in music. He also shares a few stories from the band's history and tells us why Bruce Springsteen is such a big influence on him.

Arkells frontman and now author Max Kerman joins the show to speak about his new book Try Hard: Creative Work in Progress. Jann asks Max about his creative process, the importance of persistence in the arts, and how to navigate the music industry. Max and Jann reflect on true artistic enthusiasm and positivity in creative pursuits, as well as the importance of networking and asking for opportunities. Max also touches on the intricate balance between the creativity and the financial aspects of being an artist, the challenges of navigating social media authentically, and the importance of community engagement. He reflects on the future of music as artists age, the significance of self-reflection, and the impact of their songs on fans. More About Max Kerman and Try Hard: Max Kerman is the frontman of the multiplatinum, award-winning touring band Arkells. Try Hard is his first book. Let's say you see a familiar musician from a globe-trotting, touring band hanging out at your local coffee shop, reading the newspaper and typing away on his laptop. This doesn't look like a musician at work. He seems approachable enough, so you ask him what exactly he does all day. With a grin on his face, he admits the job might not be what you think. So you take a seat, and ask him every question you've ever had about how it all works: the nuts and bolts of writing a song, preparing for a show, marketing a band, and the day-to-day business of a creative life. With each answer—none of it about talent—you realize this musician is a bit of a…try hard. And the mystery of being a creative person isn't actually mysterious at all: it's just exploring ideas with an enthusiastic and determined curiosity. Over and over. Max is that musician in the coffee shop, and this is what reading Try Hard feels like: one-of-a- kind tales from a dynamic frontman, and a companion to your own creative work in progress. With a brick-by-brick attitude, Max explores his own growth in the craft of storytelling and performance, the pleasure to be found in collaboration, and the creative spirit required in sharing your art. *Photo by Nathan Nash* Buy Try Hard: Creative Work in Progress https://www.arkellsmusic.com/ Fountain Tire Sales: Until April 26th, get up to 25% off instantly plus up to $120 off a set of four select Goodyear tires with a mail in rebate.

GPS is Now Open! Visit https://takecontroladhd.com/gps to learn more and take control of your planning today!In episode 3001, Nikki and Pete embark on a journey into the heart of the "try-hard trap." It's a familiar snare, isn't it? That relentless, gnawing feeling that we're not doing enough, that we should be doing more. That we're perpetually falling short of some invisible, yet omnipresent, standard.Pete and Nikki explore the insidious ways in which societal pressures, internalized expectations, and the ever-present lure of FOMO (fear of missing out) conspire to keep us perpetually spinning on the hamster wheel of "trying harder." But what if, just what if, the key to unlocking our potential lies not in more effort, but in less? What if, as Pete suggests, true progress comes from letting go of the illusion of control, the unattainable ideal of perfection, and the corrosive power of self-criticism?This isn't about surrendering to inertia, sinking into the couch, and embracing a life of indolence. Far from it. It's about recognizing the inherent limitations of our ADHD brains, and working with them, not against them. It's about embracing "good enough" as a legitimate, even laudable, achievement. It's about finding a sustainable pace, setting realistic expectations, and celebrating the small victories along the way.Nikki offers practical strategies for navigating the try-hard trap. She emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, understanding our individual energy rhythms, and communicating our needs to others. It's about recognizing that disappointing people is sometimes necessary, even healthy. It's about prioritizing self-care, setting boundaries, and recognizing that we are ultimately responsible for our own well-being.Links & NotesBuy the Book!

This week, we do something that's not featuring some washed up wrestler from the ‘80s (read: Diane Keaton), and speed-run into the future with Megalopolis; a masterclass in botched futurism and half-assed allegories created by none other than Nicolas Cage's eccentric, and exceedingly wealthy uncle. Do the metaphors fall flat? Yes. Is the acting stifled and awkward despite the talent involved? Also yes. Does this whole thing play out like a Neil Breen movie with a $150 million budget? Abso-fucking-lutely!  Let's go!  Cesare screws Cicero's sweetheart, stops seconds, and survives shooting! Sudden swastika stump! Labeouf and Voight! Ruining our recollection of the Romans in real time! Don't tread on me toss-away tipoff! Live Free or Try Hard? John Voight's cross boner, and much, much more on this week's episode of The Worst Movie Ever Made. www.theworstmovieevermade.com

In this exciting episode, Max tells us all about his first-ever book “Try Hard: Creative Work in Progress”. The guys dive into Max's writing process and how he got Michael Bublé to do the announcement video. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Emma Driver, a burgeoning queer artist and cancer survivor, released her powerful new single, "Try Hard," on September 4th. This first release marks a significant step in her healing journey, transforming insecurities into acceptance and aiming to serve as a guiding light for others facing similar struggles.  Now Emma is back with her new single. Everyone who's hit a trajectory-altering detour in life will want to hear Emma Driver's revelatory new song “I Don't Hate It, It's Just Different.” Inspired by the twin richter-scale jolts of a big breakup followed by a cancer diagnosis at the tender age of 27, Emma's last few years have felt like a horror film. This song encapsulates the grief of realizing her life isn't what she had envisioned, and opens the door to a brighter, unexpected future. As she sings in the chorus, “It's a classic double feature with a gigantic plot twist.” Emerging from treatment in remission nearly three years after her last release under a different name, Emma felt a rapacious urgency to release music. Returning to New York City, she collaborated with the renowned production duo SUPR8, known for their work with Lolo Zouai, Bradley Simpson, and Princess Nokia. This collaboration resulted in her upcoming four-song EP, "Ashamed To Admit This."   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Another day, another dollar, and every dollar helps us get to that elusive goal! Aaron Imholte is fully down a rabbit hole of hope, delusion and distraction as he keeps leaning in to imaginary crimes by the host of this program to misdirect you from the very real problems and accusations looming over his slowly-balding head.

Will he be better off with his tribal lover Godfrey at his digital side to fight his stupid online battles with him? ...
