Weekly Ramble: How Consistency Can Change Your Identity

In this week’s Burning the Ships, I talk about one of the most underrated superpowers in life, business, relationships, and health: consistency. From the early days of building this podcast and putting out videos no one was watching, to conversations with people who say they can’t open Instagram without seeing my face, I unpack how staying consistent even when it’s uncomfortable leads to real, lasting impact. Whether you’re trying to grow a business, become a better parent, or just feel better in your own skin, this episode breaks down how daily discipline becomes long-term success. Consistency won’t just change your results, it’ll change your identity.
