Love vs Grind: Counterintuitive Path to Success

Host: Scott Smith


Episode Description:

Scott explores wanting success "bad enough" through personal experiences and an enlightening interview with Ann Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels. He discusses the reality of "the grind" and how passion transforms challenging work into meaningful pursuits.


Key Takeaways:

- True desire for success requires embracing difficulty rather than seeking easy paths

- Sometimes, not knowing the challenges ahead can be beneficial for starting ambitious ventures

- Following what you love naturally leads to success, even if the path isn't what you expected

- Changing direction when passion doesn't align is better than forcing an unwanted path


Featured Story:

Ann Beiler, founder of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, reveals she wouldn't have started if she knew the challenges ahead. Starting with a simple love for making people happy through food, she built an empire of 1,400 locations. The story concludes with a surprising twist - Ann prefers baking chocolate chip cookies over her famous pretzels.


Scott's Three-Step Approach:

1. Verify you want your goal badly enough; change direction if needed

2. Focus on doing what you love rather than dwelling on difficulties

3. Accept that hard work is inevitable but doesn't feel like grinding when aligned with passion


Memorable Quotes:

"Thank God I didn't know what it was going to take because I would have never even started." - Ann Beiler

"Your purpose for today is to get out there and go find your purpose."

"Sometimes the things you love, they just sneak up on you."
