But what if I told you that might actually be holding you back?\nToday, I’ve got Craig Ballantyne on the show. If you don’t know Craig, he’s the guy who’s helped over 250 entrepreneurs become millionaires—not by doing more, but by focusing on the right things. He’s the author of The Perfect Day Formula, Unstoppable, and his brand-new book The Dark Side of Discipline, where he completely flips the script on what it really takes to succeed. His work’s been featured in Forbes, Inc., Men’s Health, and he’s coached high performers across business, fitness, and personal development. We’re gonna dive into why most people are wasting their discipline, how extreme self-control can actually backfire, and what you should be focusing on instead.\nBut before we get into all that, Craig’s got a powerful story when it comes to alcohol. He was a binge drinker. He had crippling anxiety. He even landed in the ER—twice. And he’s going to break down exactly how he made the shift, what finally clicked, and how he changed his entire environment without ditching his friends. So if you’ve ever struggled with discipline, willpower, or figuring out how to actually make real changes stick—this episode is gonna hit home.\n \nWant to drink less with no pressure to quit?
