If Your Consistency Is Boring… You’re Doing It Right (2067)

Chase meaning, not excitement. One builds, the other burns out. In this episode, Kevin and Alan reflect on the quiet rhythm of real growth, found not in fireworks but in the steady beat of repetition. They share the power of tracking, the discipline of showing up, and the hidden danger of chasing every shiny thing. With wisdom from over 2,000 episodes, they reveal why progress often feels ordinary and why that’s exactly the point.
