🔥 Be Grateful. Be Hungry. Be Both.

🎙 Season 2 | Episode 40: “Blissful Dissatisfaction”
Welcome back to The Pursuit of Progress — the podcast where we help you grow your mindset, your money, and your momentum.

This week, we’re unpacking a powerful mindset shift that can change everything:

💡 “Be grateful, but not done. Be proud, but still hungry.”

That’s the essence of being blissfully dissatisfied — living in the tension between contentment and ambition.

Most people live at the extremes:
😓 Always frustrated they’re not further ahead…
😴 Or too comfortable to keep leveling up.

But the real magic?
Is learning to love where you are — while still chasing what’s next.

In this episode, we break down:

  • Why gratitude without growth leads to complacency

  • Why ambition without presence leads to burnout

  • How to live in the both/and — fulfilled but never finished

  • Practical ways to stay grounded AND driven in your daily life

🎯 Whether you’re building a business, raising a family, or chasing a personal goal — this one’s for you.

You’re Not Stuck — You Just Need G.R.I.T.S.

Season 2 | Episode 34: You’re Not Stuck — You Just Need G.R.I.T.S.

Feeling stuck lately?

In this episode, Adam and Ben break down a 5-part framework that’s helped them (and their clients) create real, repeatable progress — without the burnout.

Introducing: G.R.I.T.S.
A simple acronym packed with powerful principles:

  • G – Gauge what matters (you can’t improve what you don’t measure)

  • R – Real movement, not just motion (busy ≠ productive)

  • I – Input from others (growth starts with feedback)

  • T – Tension is the path (discomfort = progress)

  • S – Stack the reps (consistency beats intensity)

Whether you’re building a business, working on your fitness, or trying to level up your life — this framework will help you get out of your own way and into real momentum.
