Consistency Is Only the Starting Point
Consistency Is Only the Starting Point  
Podcast: The Playbook With David Meltzer

Description: In today’s episode, I break down why consistency alone eventually stalls progress, and how growth actually comes from evolving the behaviors underneath it. I talk through the idea of overnight success taking 17 and a half years, why progress feels painfully slow before it suddenly accelerates, and how most people quit far earlier than they realize. We get into non negotiable behaviors, intentional daily minimums, and why two focused minutes a day can outweigh two distracted hours once a week. I also share how vulnerability requires discernment, when a story is truly yours to tell, and how protecting others matters just as much as personal truth.
