"Embrace the suck" is a phrase used in the military that means accepting the situation is hard, uncomfortable, maybe even miserable—and leaning into it anyway.

In this episode, we explore David Goggins' philosophy of "callousing the mind" and why the suck isn't an obstacle to growth—it IS the growth. Most people resist discomfort and double their suffering. Elite performers seek it out.

Key topics:

• Why resisting discomfort doubles your suffering
• David Goggins and the art of callousing the mind
• The comfort zone: beautiful but barren
• How every meaningful accomplishment comes from doing something hard

Today's Practice: Find something you've been avoiding because it's uncomfortable. The hard conversation. The brutal workout. Do it first. Notice how you feel afterward—that's growth.
