In this episode, Kris Sykes and Brian Goldsack try to unpack the popular adage, “You have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” Kris and Brian talk about hustle culture and the sacrifices that people make in the name of success. The pair also shares some things that they do on a daily basis to manage the level of stress and discomfort that they experience.
Kris and Brian emphasize that the idea of success is relative, and you need to set your own boundaries. Everybody has their own set of values and priorities that are non-negotiable. The idea is that they should be set clearly.

QUOTES
Kris: "I think Warren Buffet says this all the time. It's all about focus. Not saying that you can have multiple, but you have to understand which ones you want to focus on and then be okay with being uncomfortable with that journey because that journey is going to be uncomfortable, especially if you're trying to go towards the vision of greatness."
Kris: “Remember, it's not about the wall, it's about the brick. Lay that brick. It doesn't have to be 10,000 things on that day. It could be one thing in that day.”
Kris: "We all know that tomorrow is not promised. But I think I'm okay now without checking emails or doing this for a few hours because if you're in this perpetual state of hustling all the time, your body's going to be exhausted. And your body's going to tell you in a not so pleasant way, that you need to sit down and rest."
Kris: "Most people already know what to do. They just don't do it. Right. Because it's uncomfortable."
Brian: "You might say that you want something, but if you're not taking the necessary steps to achieve it, do you actually desire that?"
Brian: "Sometimes you can have habits that are so bad and so ingrained, and you might go out of your way to try to change those things, but sometimes your habits are so ingrained and such a part of your life that you are like a log that's being thrown into a fire. But if the log is really, really, really big, sometimes it's very difficult for that log to catch. So the only way that you can get that log to catch is by splitting the log spiritually."
Kris: "The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they're too heavy to be broken."
