Getting After It
This isn’t just a podcast—it’s a relentless pursuit of growth, grit, and getting after life on your own terms.
Every week, we break down what it takes to push limits, embrace discomfort, and turn ambition into action. This is where wisdom meets execution—because knowledge alone doesn’t cut it. You have to apply, refine, and outwork your own self-doubt to see real results.
We bring on guests from all walks of life—entrepreneurs, athletes, creatives, adventurers—people who have battled through resistance and come out stronger. Their stories aren’t just inspiring; they’re roadmaps for anyone looking to level up.
The mission? To fuel your fire, challenge your thinking, and equip you with the mindset and tools to chase down your biggest goals.
This is Getting After It—not just a podcast, but a movement for those who refuse to settle.

118 - Why Boredom Might Be the Best Thing That’s Ever Happened to You
Let’s be honest—boredom gets a bad rap. We’re told success should be fast, exciting, filled with dopamine and dramatic transformation. But what if the exact opposite is true?
In this episode, I’m diving deep into a truth I’ve had to learn the hard way: before brilliance comes boredom. Whether you’re chasing fitness goals, building a business, writing a book, or just trying to become a better human—there’s a phase where the work feels monotonous, the progress invisible, and the motivation nonexistent. That’s not the end. That’s the beginning of real change.
I’ll walk you through why we resist the boring work, what repetition actually creates, and how to reframe your relationship with those silent seasons where the world’s not clapping—but the bricks are stacking.
I also share my own story about building this podcast—how it started with excitement, faded into doubt, and eventually became a consistent practice that changed my life and, hopefully, yours.
If you’re in the grind right now and wondering if it’s worth it—this one’s for you.
4 Key Takeaways:
- Brilliance is born in boredom. The reps you think don’t matter are often the ones that change everything.
- Track the habit, not the hype. Don’t wait for motivation—build a boring routine and stick with it.
- Your breakthrough is probably hiding behind repetition. Keep going when it’s quiet.
- “Boring is building.” Say it out loud. Make it your mantra.
If this episode helped, share it with someone else doing the quiet work. And remember—you’re not stuck, you’re just stacking. Keep getting after it.
