EP 78: Why “The Slight Edge” Is the Most Boring Book That Will Change Your Life


Listen Later

You’re doing the work.

The habits.

The mindset shifts.

The invisible discipline.

But if you’re being honest, it’s boring. It’s slow. And you’re wondering…

“Is this actually going to work?”

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down a book that is wildly boring but quietly brilliant:

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.

This isn’t a sexy strategy or a flashy hack, it’s a mindset. One that I realized I’ve been living for years… and one that might be the exact thing you need to adopt if you’re feeling stuck, plateaued, or like you’re doing all the right things with zero visible results (yet).

Whether you’re:

  • In the early stages of building something bold,
  • Reinventing yourself mid-success, or
  • In that weird in-between season where you know something big is coming but it hasn’t clicked yet...

This episode is your reminder that the boring stuff is the magic.

No glitter. Just growth.

Here’s what we cover:

  • Why small actions matter more than big moves
  • How discipline becomes your superpower when no one is watching
  • The one question I ask when I feel stuck
  • What to do when quantum leaps feel out of reach
  • Why you're not seeing results yet—and what to do instead

If you’re craving proof that your daily habits are working, even when no one’s clapping, this is the episode for you.
