Episode Details

I know the routine: work all day, come home exhausted, turn on the TV, and promise yourself you’ll do something different Monday. Coach Willie Blake joins me again to talk about getting out of that cycle without pretending we can change our whole lives overnight. After exploring his experience with dyslexia and his health journey in our first conversation, we get practical about what comes next: figuring out what you actually want and choosing one small thing you can do about it.

Willie also shares the less polished version of finishing 75 Hard on his eleventh attempt, including short-lived starts and long breaks before trying again. That’s the part I appreciate. Progress doesn’t always look impressive while you’re making it. Sometimes it’s turning off one TV program, taking a walk, or letting somebody know you could use a little encouragement.
