In this episode of the Misfit Podcast, Drew and Paige unpack why most people struggle to change — even when they want to — and why motivation alone almost always fails.

Using the Tiny Habits framework, they talk through:

• Why starting smaller actually leads to bigger results
• How identity changes before outcomes do
• The role of trust, reassurance, and celebration in behavior change
• Why “helping” friends and family often backfires
• How to build habits without judgment — for yourself or others

This episode is especially relevant during the holidays, when conversations about fitness, nutrition, and “getting back on track” are unavoidable.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by trying to do everything at once — or frustrated watching someone you care about struggle — this one provides a better way forward.

In this episode of the Misfit Podcast, Drew takes a deeper dive into this week’s Misfit Mind post through the lens of Finite and Infinite Games by James Carse.

Most people don’t fail from lack of effort.
They fail because they need the work to end.
Using examples from training, sport, business, and creative work, this episode explores the difference between playing to win and playing to continue—and why applying finite expectations to infinite pursuits leads to burnout, frustration, and unnecessary quitting.

Rules change.
Bodies change.
Life changes.

If you’re still playing the game, adaptability isn’t optional—it’s the whole point.

This is a short-form, reflective episode meant to challenge how you frame progress, setbacks, and long-term growth—and to remind you that the goal isn’t finishing. It’s staying in it long enough to matter.

See you there, Misfits.

In Episode 379, Drew sits down with Paige Semenza to unpack one of the most challenging seasons of her career — a year defined by injuries, travel, overlapping competitions, and hard decisions.

They talk candidly about:

• The hidden cost of chasing every opportunity
• Why skipping competitions can be harder than showing up
• How narrative and identity shape performance
• Finding the “sweet spot” between exposure, recovery, and growth
• Why growth — in sport and life — is supposed to feel uncomfortable

This episode isn’t just about elite competition. It’s about decision-making under stress, learning when to pull back, and rebuilding momentum after things don’t go as planned.

Whether you’re a Games athlete, a competitive CrossFitter, or someone trying to balance ambition with longevity, this conversation hits deeper than the leaderboard.
