You’ll hear why I’m an Obliger (and how outer accountability helped me grow my business), how to “speak someone’s language” instead of trying to force your system onto them, and why Rebels often feel trapped by routines—even the ones they choose. We also dig into something I’m obsessed with right now: the perfectionism/procrastination loop that keeps people stuck, and my approach to breaking through the roadblock so you can finally get momentum.
