About this episode
My new book "Own Or Be Owned" is out now! I wrote Own or Be Owned to answer one question: how do you make more money, less miserably? I broke it into the 12 Profit Levers… the 12 levers I’ve seen determine whether you print cash or hate your life. Check it out: https://contrarianthinking.biz/bored
Todya’s episode breaks down the hidden superpower behind every high performer: boredom tolerance. Most people fail because they can't sit still long enough for their work to compound. From the attrition moat that clears your competition to the GRIT framework that keeps you in the game, you'll learn why the crowd thins out by commitment, not talent, and how staying boring makes you rich.
