What if the problem isn’t participation trophies… but how we interpret them?
In this episode of Achieve Your Apex, best-selling author and coach Chad Hyams challenges the obsession with recognition and first-place finishes, revealing why your quiet efforts, healed scars, and personal growth deserve far more credit than any podium moment.
💡 You’ll learn:
Why effort is never wasted—even when there’s no applause
What “trophies” you’re already carrying and have forgotten to appreciate
How Komodo dragons and their osteoderms prove survival is its own kind of victory
Research-backed methods to increase emotional resilience by 23%
Why reflection is the missing ingredient to meaningful growth
How to reframe scars, stretch marks, and calloused hands as earned evidence
Featuring insights from Grit author Angela Duckworth and the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Chad delivers a refreshing message about celebrating your hidden wins and rewriting your story without filters.
🧠 “The reward isn’t always something you hold. Sometimes it’s who you’ve become.” — Chad Hyams
