104 - All Your Excuses Are Lies: The Truth About Discipline

Mount Mindset

In this week’s episode of Mount Mindset, we revisit one of the most talked-about and powerful books ever covered on the show: Jocko Willink’s Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual.

Why go back to it? Because discipline is the foundation of everything, and when people ask how to level up, how to break bad habits, or how to stop making excuses, it’s always the same answer: discipline.

But not the kind someone gives you - the kind you build from within.

Drawing from personal insights, real-life examples (including lessons from my recent trio to Monaco for the Grand Prix), and Jocko’s uncompromising wisdom, we go deep on:

- What discipline really is (and isn’t)

- Where it comes from- How to develop it when motivation fades

- Why “shortcuts” are killing your potential

- How to handle negativity, excuses, and weak instincts

- The difference between compromising with others vs. compromising with yourself

This is the no-fluff, call-it-like-it-is kind of conversation that hits hard, and sticks. If you’ve been coasting, making excuses, or feeling stuck in your own head… this is your wake-up call.

Let me know in the comments: What’s your biggest excuse, and what’s the first small action you’re going to take to destroy it?

🎯 Discipline isn’t a skill. It’s a decision. And that decision starts now.
