There are a few authors who have deeply impacted my mindset and how I approach life, and Ryan Holiday is at the top of that list. He’s a #1 NYT bestselling author and media strategist, and we recently sat down to discuss all things discipline in honor of his latest book, Discipline Is Destiny: The Power of Self-Control.  In our conversation, Ryan expands on the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of discipline. He shares his perspective on making peace with being misunderstood or disliked by people, which is something I’m constantly working on mastering. We also talk about strategies for coming up with fresh, authentic content and what to do if you’re bumping up against a creative block.  IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT: An inside look into Ryan’s research process for his writing  Connecting curiosity with commitment  Getting clarity on your priorities and what you have space for in this season of life Why you shouldn’t say ‘maybe’ when you really want to say ‘no’  Practicing the discipline of taking consistent action  What’s surprising Ryan about the response to Discipline Is Destiny  RESOURCES Sign up for The Spritz newsletter at litepink.com!
