In this episode, I share a lesson from my jiu-jitsu coach, Sergio Penha, that has stuck with me for years: hard work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard. We talk about why natural ability only gets you so far, how discipline and consistency build confidence, and why choosing to show up every day matters more than how gifted you are at the start. This one is about effort, identity, and the quiet work that separates people who talk about improvement from the ones who actually do it.
