Episode 208: Why 92% of Your Goals Fail with Chris Bailey

Why do 92% of New Year's resolutions fail? Because most of us are chasing goals that sound good instead of goals rooted in who we truly are. In this game-changing episode, I sit down with Chris Bailey—bestselling author of Intentional: How to Finish What You Start—to completely reimagine how we set and achieve our goals. You'll discover:   Why SMART goals are often less effective than doing nothing at all (yes, really)   The 12 fundamental human values that drive everything you do—and how to identify yours Why waking up at 4 AM has zero correlation with success (backed by research) How to know when quitting a goal is actually the smartest move The "Rule of Three" that will transform your daily productivity Chris breaks down the science of goal attainment in a way that's practical, tactical, and deeply personal. This isn't about hustle culture or Instagram productivity hacks. It's about aligning your goals with your core values so you actually want to finish what you start. Chris Bailey is a productivity expert whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and TED. His books have been published in over 40 languages, and his new book Intentional is already a bestseller. If you're tired of setting goals you never finish, this episode is for you.
