Getting After It

175 - Adapt or Break: Why the Plan Is Meant to Change


Listen Later

At some point, every plan stops fitting.

Not because it was bad.
Not because you lacked discipline.
But because life changed.

In this episode of Getting After It, I talk about what to do when the plan you were committed to no longer matches the season you’re in. This isn’t about quitting, lowering standards, or losing momentum. It’s about learning how to adapt without drifting.

We break down:

  • Why people struggle when plans fall apart
  • The difference between discipline and rigidity
  • How to adjust your approach without abandoning your values
  • Why emotional decisions are the fastest way to lose direction
  • A simple framework for adapting when life pushes back

This episode is for runners, builders, parents, creators—anyone trying to stay consistent while life refuses to stay predictable.

The goal doesn’t disappear when the path bends. But the path will bend! Change the approach if you need to. Don’t abandon the standard.

Keep Getting After It.

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.
