December 21, 2025 525. This Will Kill Your Goal Setting
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore how tiny directional errors—like just 1° or 2° off course over 2,445 miles from San Diego to New York—lead to massive misses, ending up 43 or 85 miles away. The real insight: intensity and hard work can't fix misalignment; small daily drifts in habits, beliefs, or goals compound quietly until it's too late—demanding earlier, honest calibration for true success.

December 20, 2025 524. The Most Dangerous Moment
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we dive into a powerful story from rookie ball with the Atlanta Braves about an 18-year-old shortstop on the verge of quitting after a brutal day—only to get called up to Low A the very next morning. Discover why your biggest breakdown might be the prelude to your greatest breakthrough, and how choosing to keep going, even when everything feels against you, is the quiet separator between those who make it and those who don't. A raw reminder to persevere when the timeline isn't yours.

December 19, 2025 523. How to Overcome Being Your Biggest Critic
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we tackle the trap of being your own harshest critic by learning to pinpoint exactly what you're critiquing. Vague generalities thrive in the shadows—bring them into the light with specifics, and suddenly there's room for evidence, nuance, and compassion, turning relentless self-judgment into constructive, conditional growth.

December 18, 2025 522. The Hack To Avoid Burnout
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we dive into athlete burnout and the vital truth that relationships—with your sport, your craft, your passion—are a two-way street. The grass is greenest where you water it: nurture your connection daily, affirm why your craft matters deeply to you, and choose it intentionally every single day to keep the fire alive and the burnout at bay.

December 16, 2025 521. Knot in the Rope
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore the profound gap between knowing a problem exists and truly understanding the hidden knots—those deep-rooted fears, habits, and beliefs—that keep you tangled and unable to solve it.

Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we dive into the viral wisdom of "No due season without do season" – unpacking how nothing manifests in your life without first putting in the gritty, consistent work when nobody's watching.

December 12, 2025 519. Timing
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we explore the hidden power of timing in personal growth. From gymnastics vaults to baseball slumps and even a pair of shoes that went on sale, life keeps proving one truth: rushing the process often robs us of the lessons we need to actually handle what we’re chasing. Instead of jumping early out of desperation, what if the real win is staying patient, trusting the delay, and using this season to build the perspective and readiness the next level demands? Tune in as we unpack why trusting the process isn’t passive—it’s the fastest way forward.

December 11, 2025 518. Flashlight
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we flip the script on pressure: it doesn’t create clutch performers or chokers—it simply turns on the light and exposes what you built in the dark. Using a powerful flashlight-in-a-dark-room metaphor, we reveal why legends like Kobe and Jordan thrived under the spotlight while others falter, and share the three key questions that determine whether your system is ready when the moment finally shines bright.

December 10, 2025 517. Get Out in Front of It
Send us a text
In today's episode of the Daily Drive, we unpack David Ogilvy’s bold confession from his 1963 letter to clients: why the legendary ad man insisted on admitting mistakes immediately (before anyone else could point the finger), how owning the blame fast actually built unbreakable trust, and why surrounding yourself with “buck-passers” is the fastest way to kill credibility in any business or relationship. A 2,000-year-old principle dressed in Madison Avenue swagger.
