About this episode
Jared Weiss discusses the importance of trusting the process rather than solely relying on hard work to achieve desired outcomes.
Lately (at the time of filming) I've been in a place where I'm doing all the right things… but not everything is clicking the way I expected. And if you're anything like me, your first instinct is to push harder, do more, and try to control the outcome. And that whole grind mindset has its place. But what if that's not the answer? In this episode, I open up about a shift I've been going through—learning to trust the process instead of forcing results. From my own life experiences to sports, relationships, and content creation, I break down why more effort isn't always the solution… and how trying to control everything can actually hold you back. I also talk about: Why not everything that goes wrong is your fault The danger of tying your self-worth to outcomes Why you can't “outwork divine timing” How to balance effort with trust And how to return to center when life throws you off Sometimes the answer isn't doing more… it's trusting more.
