This episode starts off with the story of George Washington’s army that decided to reenlist despite having little success with the war against the British army. McKay then discusses the power of trying and never giving up, how residual pain can prevent you from trying again, and 3 ways on how you can gain the ability to keep trying and to reach your goals. As you will hear today, it all begins with doing something today, doing more of what works and less of what doesn’t, and above all, never quitting
