• How to Build Unbreakable Discipline & Turn Adversity Into Fuel w/ Preston Caffery

  Most people talk about discipline like it’s a trendy habit. But for the best performers in the world — discipline is survival.   In this episode, I sit down with Preston Caffery, entrepreneur, speaker, and performance coach, to unpack the raw truth about what it really takes to build something lasting.   Preston shares his journey through moments of adversity that would break most people — and how he transformed those challenges into fuel.   We dig into: ✅ The difference between playing not to lose vs. playing to win ✅ Why most entrepreneurs fail to build lasting habits (and how to fix it) ✅ The power of environment, community, and accountability ✅ The mindset shift you need to actually do the work when no one is watching   This isn’t theory. It’s the blueprint Preston lives every day — and how he coaches others to do the same.   If you’re tired of feeling stuck, tired of waiting for the perfect time, or tired of looking for motivation instead of building discipline — listen up.
