In today’s episode, I’m not here to sugarcoat it—I’m here to talk about attitude. Not the snarky kind you throw around when things go sideways, but the deep, quiet kind that seeps into your mindset when life feels unfair. I’ve had those moments—when everything feels heavy, progress feels impossible, and I want to give up. But I’ve come to realize something: someone out there, with far fewer resources and much bigger obstacles, is outworking me. And outworking you.

This episode is a wake-up call. I share stories of people fighting cancer while raising kids and running businesses, of people living in war zones still chasing their dreams, of men and women who have every reason to quit—but don’t. I talk about my own experience on Mount Kilimanjaro, where I was weak, sick, and struggling—and it was the local guides, with next to nothing, who carried me through. These people have grit. They have perspective. And they prove that effort doesn’t require privilege—just character.

If you’ve been stuck in self-pity, waiting for the perfect time, or blaming your circumstances, this one’s for you. It’s time to stop whining, stop comparing, and start owning everything you’ve been given. Because greatness isn’t about having more—it’s about doing more with less. So ask yourself: are you really doing everything you can with what you’ve got? If not, let’s fix that. No excuses. Ever.
