In this episode, Greg Michelman and Jon Mossey explore the concept that discipline leads to freedom. They explain that when certain behaviors become ingrained in our routines, we no longer have to consciously think about them. This creates mental space and energy that can be directed towards personal growth, exploration, and trying new things. They also discuss the importance of understanding human nature and how the brain works. By having a deeper understanding of psychology, individuals can gain an advantage in comprehending their environment and effectively navigating various situations. 

Another topic covered in the episode is the significance of measurable goals and consistent habits. Greg and Jon emphasize the difference between therapy and coaching, highlighting that coaching focuses on setting specific goals and implementing daily habits. By having clear goals and consistent habits, individuals can track their progress and make meaningful changes in their lives. 

QUOTES

• “Having that accountability and to stop making excuses and everything else, it was just something that really resonated with me, got me pointed in the right direction. I stopped making excuses. I stopped using the word someday.” – Greg Michelman 
• “So you set people up so they can have wins in each day and you get to decide what the wins are, and so as a coach, you can set people up to win.” – Jon Mossey
• “If you’re not taking action, you don’t even realize what you’re missing out on. I mean, it’s not until you take action, then you start developing new questions.” – Jon Mossey

• “External motivation isn’t always going to be there, you got to have that intrinsic motivation, you got to be constantly asking yourself, and I know it’s cliche, but you got to ask yourself what your why is. You got to ask yourself, what is your meaningful mission? What is the impact? Why am I doing this in the first place? What is my existential goal? What is the imprint that I’m trying to leave on the world? What is it that I’m trying to build for me, for my family, for everybody around me? And those are the questions that you always have to be having circulating in your mind.” – Jon Mossey
