From New Year Myths To Hard Work - Why Success Is On You :: Ep 88 Try That in a Small Town

A fresh calendar won’t change your life—your habits will. We kick things off with a light jab at New Year superstitions and quickly get into the real drivers of progress: discipline, honest self-audits, and the courage to adapt when your industry shifts under your feet. If you’ve felt the pull of comfort or the lure of blaming “the system,” you’ll hear why we’re doubling down on ownership this year and stacking more “lottery tickets” by writing, showing up, and doing the work even when it isn’t glamorous.
