Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Work


Listen Later

Zach and Alex kick off the first episode of 2026 with a candid conversation about New Year’s resolutions, why waiting for the “right time” to change is usually a mistake, and how real progress actually happens.

They talk about consistency over intensity, the fear of embarrassment, wasting time vs. learning through failure, and why small daily actions matter more than big declarations. It’s a free-flowing, reflective discussion on discipline, priorities, and becoming the kind of person who actually follows through — not just in January, but year-round.
