What if willpower isn't something you're born with, but something you build? In this episode, Ryan breaks down the brain science behind self-discipline (meet your anterior cingulate cortex, aka your "willpower muscle") and shares the simple daily practice that helped him climb out of a season of coasting. You'll learn why most of us don't struggle because we don't know what to do. We struggle because we don't do what we know. Plus, a direct challenge to pick your hard thing and do it before your brain talks you out of it. If you've been waiting for motivation to show up, this is your sign to stop waiting and start training.
