At 4:00 a.m., under the green glow of a headlamp, I took the road most people avoid—straight into the dark. In this episode, I break down why “night operations” sharpen your edge, how the Compass of Discomfort always points to the work you’re dodging, and why discipline isn’t a mood—it’s a mission. We’ll talk training in total darkness, choosing friction on purpose, and building the kind of internal GPS that drags you toward hard things until they feel normal. Listen in, then set your alarm early, step into the cold, and move. The dark is where standards are forged.
