The Morning Dig Hosted by Chris Williams
What if five minutes could shift the way you show up for the entire week?
I launched The Morning Dig in 2023 as my first podcast. I wanted to create a space where I could share quick, meaningful thoughts to help you reset, refocus, and keep digging in, especially when life feels heavy or unclear.
Every Monday, I release a short episode centered on leadership, mindset, and personal growth. Some are less than five minutes, some are a little longer, but each one is rooted in real experience and built to help you move into your week with clarity and intention.
This podcast was born out of my own journey through burnout, realignment, and learning how to lead without losing myself. I’m not here to give you all the answers. I’m here to share what I’ve lived, what I’ve learned, and what I’m still working through.
If you’re building something meaningful and trying to stay aligned with what matters, you’re in the right place.
Start your week with purpose, not pressure.

Turning Excuses into Action: How a Priority List Drives Long-Term Success.
Are your goals truly aligned with what matters most? It’s time to look beyond surface-level goals like financial success or weight loss.
Welcome to the Morning Dig Podcast.
Start your week with insights that will help you keep digging in! Whether for personal or professional goals, staying motivated requires more than just a to-do list. Today, we’re focusing on how a well-defined priority list can keep you aligned and inspired in the long run.
In this episode, I discuss the power of auditing your priorities and revisiting the deeper motivations behind your goals. It’s easy to get caught up in short-term excitement, but staying grounded in your deeper “why” keeps you moving forward. You’ll also learn how to use your priority list to filter through distractions and keep making decisions that align with your long-term vision.
Key Insights:
• Audit your priorities: Review your goals and investigate the real reasons behind them.
• Beyond surface-level goals: Focus on deeper motivations, like your family’s well-being or reducing stress at work.
• Use your list as a filter: Make quicker decisions by aligning them with your priorities.
• Inspiration > Motivation: Motivation fades, but a deeper inspiration will keep you pushing through tough times.
