About this episode

Gregor S Thomson interviews Diren Kartal about discipline, fatherhood, resilience, and the deeper meaning of success.

What makes someone truly disciplined? In this episode of The Struggle , I sit down with Diren Kartal to talk about productivity, resilience, fatherhood, coaching, discipline, handling failure, building a business, and why success means more than money. Diren shares how growing up in East London shaped his mindset, why hearing “no” made him mentally bulletproof, what young men need to hear more of, how to deal with negativity online, and why family, purpose, health, and self-awareness matter more than clout. We also talk about: how struggle can build resilience why progress isn’t loud when you’re living it social media, influence, and bringing real value the “freedom fallacy” and chasing peace in the future morning routines, fatherhood, and enjoying the simple things what it really takes to build something meaningful over years If you’re trying to build a better life, become more disciplined, get fitter, think more clearly, or create something meaningful, this conversation is for you.
