Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where your BS gets exposed faster than a fake pipeline story at selection. In this banger of an episode, Aaron, Trent, and recurring badass John Mollura (former NASA engineer turned keynote speaker) dissect the real reason you keep procrastinating—and spoiler alert—it’s not your schedule.

Turns out, your “time management problem” is actually a fear problem. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being average in front of other people. If you’re stuck in the cycle of “I’ll start tomorrow,” congrats—you’re not lazy, you’re just lying to yourself with a rocking chair full of excuses.

So pour that coffee, put down TikTok, and get ready to be called out—lovingly, of course.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

💥 Fear is the Root of Everything – Procrastination, perfectionism, overthinking? All symptoms of the same disease: fear.
💥 Stop Breaking Promises to Yourself – You show up for everyone but you. That’s why your confidence is garbage.
💥 Your Job Isn’t Your Identity – Being a “special ops guy” or “NASA nerd” isn’t who you are. It’s just what you did.
💥 Success ≠ Perfection – Skipped your 2-hour workout? Cool. 30 minutes still beats zero.
💥 Ask Better Questions – Stop asking “why do I suck?” and start asking “how do I move forward?”
💥 Self-Coaching is the Goal – No one’s coming to save you. You either do the hard work or you keep spinning in the excuse carousel.
💥 Therapy vs. Coaching – Therapy digs into the past. Coaching gives you tools to crush the future.
