Standards, struggles and self mastery - why hard things matter w/ Patrick
Most people only chase goals they know they can hit.Patrick isn’t wired that way and that’s exactly why this conversation matters.In this episode, Patrick (former U.S. Army Ranger turned cybersecurity consultant) breaks down the real reason hard things matter: standards. The ones you earn, the ones you carry, and the ones that quietly ruin your life when you let them slip.We get into:Why comfort made him miserableThe moment he realised “doing enough” was actually killing his potentialHow he used challenge as a compass - not a punishmentWhat 33 lbs lost in 12 weeks really says about someone’s identityWhy self-employment exposed every gap in his disciplineThe psychology of long-term goals (2+ years, not 6 weeks)What the Ranger Tab taught him about carrying standards for lifeIf you’ve ever felt stuck in comfort, coasting, or running on fumes — this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar.Patrick isn’t here because he “needed more knowledge.”He’s here because he needed someone to hold him to the standard he knew he was capable of.This is what happens when you stop avoiding hard things and start choosing them.Book a call with Ben hereJoin the cult hereSupport the showWant to know more about coaching?
