Listen Later

What if your talent has been holding you back?

In this powerful episode, Sam Wakefield reveals the hidden danger of being naturally gifted: when 80% effort brings results, it’s easy to settle for less than your true potential.

This conversation goes beyond performance—it’s about purpose, identity, and reclaiming the drive to show up fully. Sam shares his personal turning point and challenges you to ask: What could life look like if you finally gave 100%?

🎯 Episode Highlights:
  • Why talent without discipline becomes a trap
  • The long-term cost of cruising on “good enough”
  • How vices sneak in when we’re not living at full alignment
  • Sam’s 100% wake-up call in his 40s
  • Shifting from autopilot to intention and congruence
  • What it really feels like to play all out
