Today’s conversation is with Craig Ballantyne.

Craig is an entrepreneur, author of The Perfect Day Formula and The Discipline Manifesto and most recently The Dark Side of Discipline, and widely known as “The World’s Most Disciplined Man.”

We explore the fine line between discipline and dysfunction, how to identify when you’re applying effort to the wrong problems, and how to build sustainable systems that align with your identity. Craig shares tools like the Pyramid of Peak Performance, Effortless Discipline Systems, and his 4-step Unbreakable Standards framework for creating lasting change.
