    #237 | The Way of Excellence: How To Build A Life Of Meaningful Mastery Ft. Brad Stulberg

    Send us a text What if excellence isn’t a finish line—but a way of living that shapes who you become? In this episode of Win Today, I sit down with Brad Stulberg, bestselling author of Peak Performance and The Practice of Groundedness, to unpack his brand-new book, The Way of Excellence. We explore how excellence has been hijacked by hustle culture—and how to reclaim it as a value-driven practice rooted in meaning, consistency, and personal integrity. Brad breaks down the core framework from The Way of Excellence, including: Why true excellence starts with engaged involvement, not performative effortHow to choose worthwhile pursuits that energize you instead of draining youThe role identity plays in sustaining long-term masteryWhy values—not vanity metrics—should guide your goalsWe also dive into: “Zombie burnout” and why it often comes from too little meaningful challengeHow to design systems that favor consistency over intensityProtecting focus from “attention vampires” in a noisy worldHolding outcome goals without letting them define your worthLetting failure sting just long enough to learn—and then returning to the craftBrad shares practical tools you can apply immediately: monthly and weekly goal setting, guarding deep focus, revisiting values at the right cadence, and reframing winning as giving your full effort in a way you respect. If you’re tired of hustle theater and ready to build excellence that actually lasts, this conversation will reset how you think about success. Thank you for tuning in!

    #232 | More Than The Miles: Run Across South Carolina Recap - Answering Prayers

    Send us a text This breaks down the entire run across South Carolina, all 194 miles of fun. I share the heart behind Breaking Ribbons, the people who sparked it, and how purpose, planning, and community carried us through rain, injuries, police checks, and long miles on empty roads. We talk mindset shifts that mattered—reframing nerves, perspective shifts, and choosing gratitude when everything hurt. The real finish wasn’t the run itself, but raising over $20,000 to bless five families, starting with a mom heading into another round of chemo. Key takeaways: Purpose changes how pain feels—and what it produces.Big missions are built on small details: logistics, people, and presence.Less than 1% of a year, done with intention, can redefine the other 99%.Thank you for tuning in!

    #231 | Demonstrate Genuine Care: Check-Ins May Save Lives

    Send us a text This episode starts with a simple truth: the holidays hit everyone differently. What unfolded during a long training run on the Ravenel Bridge turned a routine “how’s it going?” into something heavier—something that demanded presence, not performance. When the night later connected to a reported suicidal person, it became clear that endurance didn’t matter nearly as much as paying attention. You may not control the outcome, but one real question, asked with care, can change the direction of someone’s story. Takeaways: Stop asking surface questions—ask ones that invite real answers and listen long enough to hear them.Leadership and trust grow when people feel seen, remembered, and safe telling the truth.Keep resources ready and be willing to help someone take the next step, even if it’s uncomfortable.Thank you for tuning in!
