In Episode 062 of The Health Movement Podcast, Sam Demma — bestselling author and education keynote speaker — breaks down how “Small Consistent Actions (SCA)” turn big goals into daily inevitabilities. He shares the “Be Someone’s Taco” kindness story, a rain-day perspective shift that changes results, and the subtractions that freed up his energy (less scrolling, alcohol-free stretches, fewer comparisons) as he trains for a full Ironman.
“Make your goals inevitable with small consistent actions.”
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
✅ SCA and the one-degree rule for direction over speed
✅ Micro-kindness that lands at the right moment
✅ Cognitive reframing: same storm, different story → different day
✅ Strategic subtraction: what you stop to create space for growth
✅ Why mentorship beats DIY when you want to go faster
✅ Identity, confidence, and choosing hard goals on purpose
