Today, we’re digging into one of the most underrated competitive edges in business, leadership, and life—character. In a world obsessed with applause, overnight wins, and external validation, it’s the silent victories, private discipline, and internal grit that define who you become.
Joining me today is Josh Miller, and we go deep on:
