In this episode, I walk through the big ideas behind my book Killing Comfort—a call to stop chasing ease and start chasing hard. If you want to achieve extraordinary results, you have to get uncomfortable first.

I break down the 3-part structure of the book and explain how the overlooked prerequisite to success isn’t strategy—it’s embracing discomfort and developing grit.

Here’s what I cover:

• Why the most dangerous trap is comfort that sneaks in without warning
• The real cost of prosperity, bad ideas, and weak performance
• The Aviate, Navigate, Communicate process for developing into a high performer
• The 86% Process: A lifestyle for balance, focus, grit, and consistent discomfort
• How to build grit through intentional effort and eliminate excuses

🧠 Core Concepts:

• Comfort is not your friend—chase hard, not ease
• Success demands discomfort and commitment to difficult things
• Comfort will always try to sneak in—spot it and kill it
• Lead yourself first—ask, “Would you follow you?”
• High performance starts with habits, clarity, and grit
