You’re Not Stuck. You’re Squeezing Too Tight.

Builders push hard.

We set goals. We chase them. We optimize inputs, refine outputs, and obsess over getting to the next level.

But sometimes, that obsession can backfire.

This week, I’m sharing a solo episode about a lesson that’s been changing how I operate in both business and fitness: letting go of control.

Not quitting. Not being passive. But learning to yield, especially when you're doing everything right and still not seeing results.

🎙️ In this short holiday episode, I cover:

* Why high performers often grip too tight (1:22)

* The danger of obsessing over your “why” (4:11)

* Letting go in business — and seeing better results (6:25)

* Why fitness isn’t supposed to make life harder (10:03)

* Trusting your team and your training (12:30)

* Playing and suffering as a team > going solo (14:18)

* A first-principles gut check to close (16:02)

As always, let me know what hits or misses. Just reply to this email — I read every one.
