What’s it take to keep going when your mind screams “quit”?
In this Dennis Rox episode, Mike, Eldar, Toliy, and Harris tackle perseverance—from rock climbing grit to sales call grind. Mike shares a raw tale of battling a red trail, pushing past mental exhaustion to grab that last grip. Harris ties it to SEALs swimming the Hudson, wondering why his sales “drown proofing” hasn’t clicked. Eldar flips the script: Are we sabotaging success out of fear? Toliy insists it’s you vs. you—not the world. Expect laughs (purple dildos?), fire (sales war metaphors!), and real talk on silencing negative self-talk to unlock your inner badass. Tune in—perseverance ain’t just for heroes!
