In this episode of The Streaking Podcast, Jeff challenges the common advice to "get out of your comfort zone" and presents a more effective approach: expanding your comfort zone through small, consistent actions. Instead of forcing yourself into overwhelming situations that trigger fear and burnout, Jeff explores how gradual, intentional growth leads to lasting success. Backed by neuroscience and real-life examples—including his own experiences with public speaking—he explains how streaking helps build confidence, skill, and resilience over time. Tune in to learn why consistency, not intensity, is the key to sustainable growth and how you can set streaks that make personal and professional development feel natural. Keep streaking!
