Motivation Fades Devotion Stays

Motivation Fades Devotion Stays

In today’s episode, I talk with James Maslow and Alvaro Nunez about devotion, alignment, and why starting now with what you have beats waiting for perfect.

In today’s episode, I sit down with James Maslow and endurance athlete Alvaro Nunez to talk about devotion over motivation, thinking bigger than other people’s limits, and starting with what you already have. We unpack power versus force, reverse engineering goals, and why consistency compounds when belief gets out of the way. Alvaro shares lessons from extreme challenges, including ultradistance races and the promise he made to his father, while James reflects on committing fully, recalibrating when needed, and applying one discipline across life. We also talk harmony over balance, lowering the bar to begin, and choosing actions aligned with purpose.
