Fred and Brittney discuss habits, discipline, accountability, and why it's so easy to fall back into old patterns, even when we know better. From Atomic Habits to real life struggles with distraction, motivation, and staying present, we explore what helps us stay on track and what pulls us off course. As always, expect plenty of personal stories, honest conversation, and a few unexpected tangents along the way.
