Why you quit hard things, and how to build commitment that actually lasts
Most people don’t fail because they aren’t talented.
They fail because their ego can’t survive the early stages of being bad at something.
In this episode, Eric Koester talks with Matt Thomas, world champion in chessboxing and founder of Brawl for a Cause, about what actually creates commitment when the work gets uncomfortable.
Matt has taken hundreds of everyday people through a 90-day fight program built on the hero’s journey. He’s seen the same pattern over and over: when the goal is status, people quit. When the goal is purpose, people get gritty.
They also dig into a wild personal story, Matt goes from losing to an eight-year-old at speed chess to winning a world championship in India, by mastering the one skill most people ignore: the transition between intensity and focus.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
This one’s for anyone building something that scares them, a book, a business, or a new identity.
