The Dark Side of Discipline with Craig Ballantyne
About this episode
What if the discipline that made you successful is also holding you back? In this episode, Joey and Drew sit down with Craig Ballantyne, author of The Dark Side of Discipline, to discuss the fine line between discipline as a tool for success and discipline as a trap. Craig shares how he learned the hard way that too much structure can become a prison, impacting relationships, creativity, and even personal freedom. He breaks down his definition of true discipline, how to recognize when it's working against you, and why so many high performers push themselves to unhealthy extremes. He also shares insights from his writing process, his journey to quitting alcohol, and the importance of accountability and community in self-improvement. Tune in for a raw and insightful conversation that will challenge the way you think about discipline.
