Getting After It

159 - Stick to the Plan. Especially When It Sucks.


Listen Later

What do you do when the plan falls apart?

In this episode, I share the story of a marathon-distance run that didn’t go as expected. My brother Drew and I had mapped out a desert route—then a storm rolled in. Flash flood warnings. Lightning. The whole thing went sideways. But we didn’t quit. We pivoted. We stuck to the plan, even if it meant finishing 26.2 miles on a treadmill.

This episode is about those moments when everything goes wrong and you have to decide: do I fold, or do I keep going?

If you're pushing for something hard right now—this one's for you.

3 Key Takeaways:

  • Discipline means doing what you said you’d do—especially when it’s no longer fun.
  • You don’t need perfect conditions to follow through. Just the decision to keep going.
  • The plan matters. But who you become by sticking to it matters more.

Getting After It is for those who. want to silence their self-doubt. Refuse to be owned by comfort. Understand their limits are man-made and breakable. We live in a time of constant comparison. Social media drowns us in highlight reels and overnight success stories. But what most people don’t see is the grit behind it all. The reps. The quiet mornings. The sacrifices. The failures.

You are just getting started. Keep Getting After It.
