Work never really gets easier. You just get better at it. This week Drew sat down with David Pearson, an optimization engineer (and one of his closest friends), to talk about why we move our own goalposts, how to fight inertia when starting something new, and why action beats doubt every time. They also had some fun with odd foods, lost friendships, stair-counting quirks, and dishwasher debates. If you’ve ever waited to feel ‘ready,’ this episode is for you.
