465: The Dog Theory: Why Discipline Equals Freedom and Routine Creates Happiness for Entrepreneurs
Dave Lukas, The Misfit Entrepreneur_Breakthrough Entrepreneurship
Today, I want to talk about something that’s been circulating on X called The Dog Theory. And when I saw it, it hit me immediately because it connects directly to something I’ve believed and taught for years.

Learning the difference can transform how you lead, react, and perform under pressure. In this...
