“Did I want to walk in the rain and talk to a camera? Nope. Did I do it anyway? Absolutely.”
Welcome to Thursday Thunder, where we meet resistance with rhythm and prove—week after week—that we can do hard things.
? Episode Summary
This week, I walk through 9 powerful reasons why you’re more than capable of doing the hard thing you’re putting off—whether it’s writing the first sentence, showing up for your commitment, or taking that scary next step. Bonus points: it’s all under 10 minutes.

? Introduction: Why Hard Is Good
The resistance is real. But so is the result. The truth is, we don’t always want to show up. Sometimes the weather’s bad. Sometimes our energy is low. But doing the thing anyway? That’s where transformation lives.
? The 9 Reasons You Can Do Hard Things
1. Put It on the Calendar
Commit to a recurring time. Ritual makes resistance irrelevant.
2. Commit Without Knowing
You don’t need the full map. Just the first step.
3. Do It Anyway
Don’t wait for the perfect moment—it’s hiding behind the one you just showed up for.
4. Willpower Still Matters
Discipline isn’t outdated. It’s your launchpad.
5. Burn for Takeoff
Starting takes the most energy. Like a rocket, most of your fuel burns just leaving the ground.
6. Rocket Ship Inertia
Once you’re up, the going gets easier. Momentum reduces effort.
7. Accountability Partners (Hi, Pepper ?)
Get someone (or something fuzzy) to keep you honest and moving.
8. Momentum Is Magnetic
The more you do, the more you can do. Stack your progress.
9. Tiny Wins Count
You don’t need to change the world today. You need 10 minutes. You need this Thursday.
? What Makes It Stick?
You’re not doing it for the crowd. You’re doing it for you.
The audience is optional. The action is essential. That’s why I’ve shown up every Thursday for five years. That’s how hard things get easier.
? A Word on Villains
The hard part isn’t the action. It’s the inner voice saying:
“You’re not ready.”
“You don’t have time.”
“Do it later.”
Those are the villains. And the only way to beat them?
Do it anyway.
