The Hidden Price of Getting Better
About this episode
The episode explores the disciplined work of growth through two books on personal excellence and adaptation.
What does it actually take to get better—and keep getting better—once talent has taken you as far as it can? Today, we’re exploring two books about the disciplined, sometimes uncomfortable work of growth: Ryan Hawk’s The Price of Becoming, which argues that lasting excellence is built through commitment, consistency, and choosing hard things on purpose; and Ric Bucher’s Coachable, which looks at elite athletes to show why the best performers never stop adapting. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
