    Between Good and Great: Why Perfection is a Trap

    Send us a text Summary: This episode uncovers the unsustainable pursuit of perfection and shows listeners how to thrive in the space between good and great—a place of freedom, growth, and authentic connection. Highlights: •Perfection is a myth and a trap that fuels stress, burnout, and fear. •The “good-to-great” space is where humans naturally thrive—celebrating first bases and home runs alike. •Leaders, parents, and managers benefit when they allow themselves and others to operate in this healthy zone. •Real connection, creativity, and resilience are born when you show up human, not flawless. Target Audience: •People aged 18–35 feeling stressed or crushed by perfectionist standards. •Leaders, parents, and supervisors seeking sustainable growth in themselves and others. Favorite Quote: “Perfection is unsustainable. The real gift is permission to live between good and great—where growth, joy, and breathing room exist.” YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChallengeAcceptedwithJonahCPD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/challengeacceptedwithjonahc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/challengeacceptedwithjonahc/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonah-c-4b75442b5/ You can also find Jonah on TikTok, Snapchat, Bluesky, and Threads for daily reels, Pick Me Ups, Level Ups and more!   Written and Produced by Jonah C.

    Send us a text Halfway through Season 2, Jonah calls out the turning point: the shift from effort to mastery. In this episode, he introduces the Matrix of Motivation — a system that pulls together everything we’ve learned so far: emotional intelligence, higher-level thinking, cause and effect, self-awareness, showing up, breaking the wishbone, and Challenge Accepted 2.0.

    BONUS SHOW: The Frequency We Forgot...AND FOUND AGAIN

    Send us a text In Episode 22, The Frequency We Forgot, we explored a high-level, almost otherworldly idea — the kind of conversation that stretches your thinking and plays at the edges of human understanding. But I know some of those ideas were wrapped in language that could feel abstract, maybe even a little out of reach. That’s why Episode 23 is here. In this bonus follow-up, we pull that conversation back down to earth. We take the concepts from Episode 22 and anchor them in the real, everyday moments that are already shaping your readiness for what’s next — no matter how far away, strange, or unexpected that “next” might be. You’ll hear how preparing for the unknown isn’t just about the future — it’s about what you choose today: how you listen, how you respond, how you train your mind and your body to stay open when difference shows up. And you’ll discover that the “frequency” isn’t just a metaphor — it’s a very real, very human way of tuning yourself for connection. Episode Highlights: •Why everyday moments are the real training ground for future connection •How to notice and adjust your body’s reaction to the unfamiliar •The role of “frequency” in communication — beyond words •Practical antidotes you can use to build openness and presence now •The poetic reminder of what it means to find the signal we’ve been missing Target Audience: Listeners who loved the depth of Episode 22 but wanted more grounded clarity, plus anyone ready to translate high-level concepts into daily practice. Favorite Quote: “Not a plan, not a script, not a perfect first impression… but remembering the sound you’ve carried in your bones since the beginning — and letting it rise again.” YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChallengeAcceptedwithJonahCPD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/challengeacceptedwithjonahc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/challengeacceptedwithjonahc/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonah-c-4b75442b5/ You can also find Jonah on TikTok, Snapchat, Bluesky, and Threads for daily reels, Pick Me Ups, Level Ups and more!   Written and Produced by Jonah C.
