About this listen

 Bryce delivers a deeply personal and uncompromising message about why most people don’t fail from lack of discipline—but from abandoning themselves to preserve approval, comfort, and belonging. Drawing on the concept of The Courage to Be Disliked and Adler’s idea of task separation, Bryce breaks down how fear of rejection quietly erodes self-trust, confidence, and momentum over time. He explains why growth always creates friction, why New Year’s resolutions fail without a change in loyalty, and why real commitment isn’t about outcomes—it’s about refusing to betray yourself to avoid discomfort. This episode is a powerful invitation to enter the next chapter of your life with clarity, honesty, and the courage to choose alignment over acceptance, even when it costs you familiarity, relationships, and applause.

Listen in!
