#1348- Work Ethic Over Everything 🐺

You know what's worse than getting projectile shit on at 2am while your finger's bleeding from a cardboard cut? (Yep, that happened.) Watching people's souls leave their body when they realize entrepreneurship isn't a vacation.

This episode is Brian and his co-host going OFF on the fairy spiritual "follow your bliss" bullshit that's infecting entrepreneurship. 

If you think starting an online business or following your passion means you can skip the grind, this episode will slap you back to reality. Hard.

This isn't your typical motivational podcast where we tell you everything's gonna be okay. This is the conversation about why most people fail, why work ethic is a muscle you need to build, and why your feelings are lying to you about what you're capable of.

From watching Anthony Joshua tell Jake Paul "I'm gonna make sure your soul leaves your body" to the harsh reality that you need to pack your calendar until there's literally no time left... this is what separates people who actually make it from people who quit after day six.

Here's what we break down:

• The "come to Jesus" moment everyone's having. People are finally realizing that building a seven-figure business requires money, effort, and years of work. Not four days of hustle followed by "when's the vacation?" You don't get breaks when you're building something real.
• Why work ethic is like a muscle (and how to build it).  You can't hit a PR the first time you try five plates. You work, recover, eat, and try again. Same with entrepreneurship. Most people push too hard, burn out, and pull way too far back instead of finding their limit and slowly expanding capacity.
• The calendar optimization strategy that built PT Domination. Pack your calendar until there's literally no time left. Optimize what you're doing. Hire someone to replace the menial tasks. Repeat. That's how you scale, not by working less and hoping AI does it for you.
• Why your body is NOT your friend.  If Brian listened to his body, he'd be 400 pounds eating candy. If his co-host listened to his body, he'd still be doing drugs. Your body lies to you. Your feelings lie to you. Stop listening to them and work your goddamn ass off.
• The harsh truth about the "alignment" crowd. Every single person preaching "go with the flow" and "follow your bliss" built their business with ridiculous work ethic. They weren't sleeping. They weren't woo-woo-ing their way to a million dollars. They worked until they succeeded, THEN they started the spiritual shit.

...and much more.
