Doing epic things doesn't need to require extreme or grand gestures. It can simply mean showing up daily with intention and consistency. Keith and Laura explore what it truly means to pursue meaningful goals while maintaining balance and avoiding the traps of perfectionism and limiting beliefs.
After observing a bird floating peacefully on Lake Michigan, Keith imagines the bird to likely be paddling steadily beneath the surface. The metaphor: appearing calm and thoughtful while consistently working toward goals without frantic busyness. Keith emphasizes the importance of defining and confining work time to create both focus and freedom, noting that "the process is the point" rather than just the end result. 
Laura shares her struggle with writing consistency on her book project. Having gone weeks without writing, she reveals a common creative challenge: feeling stuck when unsure of the next step. Laura draws inspiration from her grandmother Doris, who pursued multiple creative endeavors. Highlighting the importance of both personal discipline and social support, Laura centers showing up every day while being kind to herself. 
Keith advocates for writing down goals, setting realistic timelines, and surrounding yourself with supportive information and people to maintain momentum. Laura is emphasizing progress over perfection and celebrating small wins like writing just 50 words. Epic achievements are built on consistent daily actions, supportive community, and the courage to embrace imperfect progress over time.
