On this episode we talk about:
Why small, consistent habits have the biggest long-term impact on success
The concept of the “habit before the habit” to reduce friction and build consistency
How gratitude practices like the “thank you walk” can rewire your mindset
The difference between building habits vs. building a better life
Why focusing on just 1–3 habits is more effective than trying to change everything at once
Top 3 Takeaways
You don’t need dozens of habits—just one or two consistently applied habits can change your life.
Reducing friction (the “habit before the habit”) makes it much easier to follow through.
Your daily habits ultimately determine your success—good habits create a good life, great habits create a great life.
