The Second Lap Problem: When Consistency Feels Pointless Before It Works


Listen Later

Most people don't quit at the start. They quit on the second lap.

The first lap is exciting—new plans, new energy, new identity. The second lap gets quiet. No applause. No visible results. No adrenaline.

In this episode, Chad Hyams breaks down the most dangerous phase of consistency: the moment where progress feels pointless right before it works.

You'll learn: • Why silence is not failure • What behavioral science calls "delayed reinforcement" • How high performers measure progress when motivation fades • The one rule that keeps you moving when results aren't obvious yet

If you've started strong and now feel stuck, this episode will reset how you see progress—and help you hold the line long enough to win.
