Today was one of those days where the problems just kept stacking up. It started at a minor injuries unit, where I am waiting to find out whether a foot injury is a stress fracture or a stress reaction. From there it moved into a difficult day in business — a property snagging issue, a financing challenge, and meetings to wrap up two recently closed businesses.

I am on day 1996 of a consecutive daily running streak covering 40,075km for children's causes, and 19,960km in, some days are genuinely hard. Not dramatically hard. Just quietly, persistently draining in a way that takes something from you.

In this episode I talk honestly about what it feels like to take knock after knock in a single day, and why the way you respond to problems matters far more than the volume of problems themselves. The most effective people are not those with the fewest problems — they are the ones who process and solve them most efficiently.

I still have 20,115km to run. The mission continues. If you are in a season of life or business where everything seems to be stacking up at once, this one is for you.
