What if staying comfortable is the reason you’re not growing?

In this episode of The Few Leaders: Speaker Series, high performance coach and speaker Brett Eaton joins the show to expose the silent trap holding so many leaders back: comfort. If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired or like your goals are just out of reach, this conversation will shift your perspective.

Brett reveals why discomfort is not just necessary but essential for real transformation. We talk about how small daily choices create momentum, why waiting for motivation won’t work, and what it takes to follow through when no one’s watching. From owning your decisions to redefining what success means for you, this is a powerful guide to building resilience and creating change that sticks.
