Are you busy, or are you actually moving? Most of us spend our lives accumulating, adding more tasks, more goals, and more noise, until we become too weighed down to sustain a breakthrough speed. As my yoga teacher once told me, "It is all about the way in which we arrange."

We explore how to stop prioritizing the tasks that keep you stagnant and start focusing on the elite actions that shift who you are. This episode is about the "Push Pace", the gear where your favorite results and your future self-concept intersect, and learning how to filter your life to ensure you stay in that lane.
