04/13/2026 | 12 mins.
What if the reason you feel stuck has nothing to do with how hard you’re working? Most people aren’t lazy. They’re not lacking motivation. They’re just unclear. And that lack of clarity is exactly what keeps them spinning their wheels, staying busy but never actually moving forward. In this episode, Cody Hofhine breaks down a simple but powerful framework called GAP that will show you exactly why you feel stuck and, more importantly, how to fix it fast. He explains why success isn’t about doing more, it’s about becoming more, and how identifying the gap between where you are and where you want to be changes everything.
