Weak Culture — Why Standards Keep Dropping

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2543802/fan_mail/new] Standards aren’t what they used to be. Everybody wants to celebrate like a champ but nobody wants to train like one. Too many people want success without the struggle. We’ve lowered the bar so everybody can feel like a winner — but all it’s really doing is watering down the ones who actually earn it. This week on Pulling No Punches, Curtis and James break down how the grind disappeared — and why people would rather make excuses than put in the work.

They’ll dig into the difference between loyalty and limitation — and how knowing when to move on can be the most loyal thing you do for yourself.
