174 - Training the WILL before the trial
In this episode of the M4M Podcast, we explore powerful lessons from The Obstacle Is the Way by Ryan Holiday—focusing on the discipline of the will, the importance of preparing for trials before they hit, and the strength that comes from accepting what we can’t control.
We unpack how figures like Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt endured hardship by cultivating resilience from within, and how our response—not our circumstances—defines our growth. From learning to master emotional responses to practicing the “premortem” mindset in leadership, this episode is a call to lead with intention and humility.
Whether you're facing a personal challenge, leading a team, or just trying to grow day by day, this conversation reminds us: Life won’t stop coming—but neither should we. It’s not about what happens to us, but what we’re building in response.
- Are you building or breaking your will?
- Are your emotions in the driver’s seat—or your vision?
- Are you preparing for life’s trials or simply reacting to them?
- Are you trying to force something that’s not your gift?
- How do you respond when control slips from your hands?
Remember we EXIST for more, we're here to OFFER more, Don't EVER give up, every single one of us are Made4More.
