Chasing Excellence

The Difference Between Those Who Rarely Miss a Workout & Everyone Else (w/ Jordan Metzl, MD)


Listen Later

What if the biggest barrier to your fitness isn't a lack of willpower — it's a set of hidden biases working against you?

In this conversation with sports medicine physician Jordan Metzl, we uncover the science of motivation and why people who rarely miss a workout aren't more disciplined — they've just learned to lower their cost to act. Discover the knowledge-belief-emotion framework that transforms "I should" into "I'm doing this" and finally into "I'm crushing this."

We explore why laziness is a myth, how curiosity is the most underrated motivational tool, and why science shows that roughly 60% of your health is determined not by your genes — but by the choices you make every day. Whether you're a coach trying to keep clients coming back or someone looking to reignite your own fire, this episode is your blueprint for building motivation that sustains itself.
