Motivation vs. Discipline - Take Action
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
League of Wildness,
Motivation and Discipline are two very different concepts that I believe often times get confused and/or misused.
Motivation is all in your mind and discipline is all in your actions.
You are what you did so make sure you are taking action and not just getting excited/motivated to potentially do something.

League of Wildness,
I just posted this as my currently favorite quote, "Relentless Forward Progress". It's been a very useful concept for me in 2023 and I hope my experience sparks some thought in yourself.

Standard vs Wild Lifestyle
Monday May 22, 2023
Monday May 22, 2023
League of Wildness,
We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson.
Mr. Money Mustache recently posted an excellent article after he'd consumed 80+ of content from Dr. Andrew Huberman. Pete (aka Mr. Money Mustache) also made an excellent chart comparing and contrasting what he termed the "Default" vs "Science" lifestyles. This inspired me to make a chart comparing the "Standard" vs "Wild" lifestyles.
My #1 question is: why do we need a Neuroscientist to prescribe a lifestyle that would probably be obvious to our grandparents? This is the question that continues to haunt me.

Repeatability - the Gold Standard for Any Practice
Wednesday May 17, 2023
Wednesday May 17, 2023
League of Wildness,
We're back with a solo-cast from @wilddanvinson.
I saw an article about how consistently diets DO NOT work and it made me consider the importance of longterm repeatability. Specifically, if you are going to pursue something to improve your health and fitness it MUST be consistently repeatable for essentially - the rest of your life. Interestingly - as you get healthier there will come a point where to get even healthier it will take massive effort to continue to improve your health. At this point, the focus can start to shift towards maintenance.
In this episode:
- The gold standard of any practice is repeatability.
- Why unprocessed foods can help a ton to reduce caloric load.
- Thinking about nutrition and diets as a practice.
- ...and much more!
