E40: Don't Expect Hard Things Not To Be Hard

from The Junto Podcast Hosted by edgarmills

Edgar Mills explores the idea "don't expect hard things not to be hard," sharing personal stories from Special Forces Selection, Stoic wisdom, and the difference between motivation and discipline. He applies those lessons to entrepreneurship—planning a firearms training range—covering realistic expectations, contingency (PACE) planning, compromise, and the need to persevere; the episode ends with practical calls to support and a Floyd County hearing, to approve or deny the range plan, on January 27.
