Description

In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel and Martha tackle a fundamental truth many entrepreneurs try to ignore: growth is supposed to be hard.

Forget the easy path. They argue that expecting challenges (whether scaling a business, training for an endurance event like Hyrox, or managing a team) is the key to actually achieving your goals. They explore why leaning into the difficulty, rather than avoiding it, builds resilience and drives real progress. They discuss why the most rewarding things often come from the toughest situations.

We dive into:

• Why embracing the 'hard' is crucial for success (and why wanting it easy is a trap).
• The surprising link between physical challenges (like Hyrox training) and building business resilience.
• Delegation pitfalls: Why you often need to understand a task yourself before handing it off effectively.
• The messy reality of managing people: handling difficult conversations, navigating expectations, and the role of emotion in leadership.
• Perfectionism vs Progress: How setting realistic expectations beats chasing unattainable ideals.
• Beyond Vanity Metrics: Focusing on what truly matters (like profit over revenue).
• The Balancing Act: Juggling business, family, fitness, life and accepting you cannot ace everything at once.
• Turning setbacks into stepping stones: A practical mindset for dealing with failure and bouncing back.

Packed with relatable struggles and straight talking advice, this episode is for anyone feeling the pressure and wondering if they are doing it wrong. Learn how to reframe difficulty, build mental toughness, and stay hungry even when things inevitably get tough.
