Most people think identity is a decision. They believe once they feel motivated or clear, they’ll finally become the person they want to be.

But that’s not how identity actually works.

In this episode, I break down why identity is earned through action, not chosen through intention. And why waiting to feel ready is often the very thing keeping people stuck.

We explore:

• Why motivation is unreliable
• How consistency quietly builds identity
• What running taught me about discipline and standards
• Why identity loss doesn’t mean you’re broken
• How action stabilizes the mind when clarity is missing

As Marcus Aurelius said:
“Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.”

If you’ve ever felt disciplined at heart but inconsistent in practice, this episode is for you.

Keep Getting After It.
