Conversation No. 022 w/ Nathan Bourne | The Pain of Pruning...

... And the Discipline to Grow AnywayWhat are you willing to sacrifice?In this Memorial Day reflection, I’m going all in on what most people avoid: the hard, painful, often thankless work of cutting back what’s holding you back.From honoring those who paid the ultimate price to asking ourselves what kind of legacy we’re building, this episode is about facing the brutal truth—growth doesn’t happen without discipline. Or pruning. Or pain.We talk about the difference between coasting and carrying weight, about the kind of people you surround yourself with, and why your work ethic might be the real reason you're stuck. Because gratitude without action is just sentiment—and purpose without discipline? That’s just a dream you’ll never chase.If you're feeling the pull to level up but keep resisting the cutbacks, listen in. It’s time to grow like you mean it.Connect with Nathan Bourne:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Nathan on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Nathan on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with Nathan on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with MyCORE:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow MyCORE on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow MyCORE on Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect with MyCORE on LinkedIn⁠
