Meet Donut, Jake's 8-year-old French bulldog who perfectly demonstrates the psychological resistance pattern that keeps high performers stuck.

In this episode, Jake reveals why we sabotage ourselves by fighting the very things designed to help us thrive - and how to build accountability systems that make progress inevitable.

• The Resistance Reality: We're hardwired to fight what's best for us, even when we know better
• Three Root Causes: Pain-now/benefit-later problem, identity protection, and fear disguised as resistance
• The Breakthrough Principle: The stronger the resistance, the more important the action
• Accountability Systems: Why willpower fails and how to build external structures that pull you forward
• The Momentum Shift: Once you get past initial resistance, progress becomes self-sustaining
