    Shoot Your Shot.... And Be Okay With The Outcome

    Most of us hesitate just before taking a chance that could change everything, but what if the secret is simply shooting your shot and being okay with whatever happens? In this raw, unscripted episode, Quincy  shares a personal story about summoning the courage to reach out to a high-profile guest, and getting a response that stunned him. This is about more than just podcasting; it’s a powerful reminder that the biggest wins often come from taking the leap, no matter how unlikely success seems. You’ll discover how the simple act of sending that one email transformed Quincy’s perspective on risk and rejection. He breaks down the pivotal mindset shift from “what if I fail” to “at least I tried,” emphasizing that every “no” brings you closer to a “yes.” We delve into the importance of preparation, persistence, and the peace that comes with trying, regardless of the outcome. Whether you're contemplating a career move, asking someone out, or launching a new project, this episode fuels your courage to go for it. You'll learn practical insights on handling rejection, why it’s not personal, and how every attempt shapes your growth.

With scenes from NBA star Steph Curry to everyday risk-takers, the episode illustrates that preparation and persistence are the perfect teammates for shooting your shot.

The opportunity to unlock new doors, relationships, or success stories is always within reach if you're willing to take the shot and accept whatever comes next.

    You Are Stronger At 1% Than You Think You Are...

    Most of us vastly underestimate what we're capable of when we’re running on empty. What if the key to pushing through your limits lies in embracing your 1%—that moment when you think you've got nothing left? Quincy shares a powerful metaphor inspired by his marathon experience and everyday life, revealing how human reserves are often far greater than we believe. In this episode, we explore the surprising parallels between a drained phone battery and human endurance. You'll discover how when you’re at 1%, your focus sharpens; distractions fade, clarity emerges, and you begin to operate on instinct. He breaks down the science behind the body’s natural protective mechanism, known as the “central governor,” and how overriding it can lead to unseen reserves of strength. We dive into practical strategies for training yourself to access these reserves intentionally. Doing “self-elected hard things” like cold showers, tough conversations, or pushing yourself at the end of a run. Quincy explains why practicing discomfort regularly not only prepares you for life’s unexpected challenges but also shifts your mindset from “I can't” to “I can do hard things.” This isn’t about reckless endurance, it’s about understanding your limits, recognizing the signals your body sends, and knowing when to push just a little further. If you're tired, depleted, or feeling like giving up, this episode will inspire you to reframe exhaustion as your greatest opportunity for growth. You’ll learn how to channel that last 1% into your most transformative moments. Whether in fitness, relationships, or facing life’s obstacles. Perfect for anyone who feels exhausted but isn’t willing to settle. Whether you're a runner, a leader, or just navigating daily challenges, these insights empower you to access reserves you didn’t know you had. Tune in to unlock your full potential, even at your lowest—because you’re stronger than you think. Stay connected with me on Instagram and TiktTok @thenotdoneyet.project
