This week I'm excited to introduce a weekly Friday episode called a Resist Average Quick Hit.

I understand not everyone has 45-60 minutes to listen to every full-length episode and will be hitting all kinds of new topics as well as taking feedback from you, my loyal listener on what to include during the next Quick Hit. In this Quick Hit Episode #1, I discuss the powerful concept around a question of being committed to what you're working on for the next 10 years and why the long game is so essential towards achieving worldly success. Because overnight success is a myth, framing your goals by playing this long game takes the pressure off and allows you to celebrate small wins and appreciate the individual moments.
